Just take a good look around in any public place,
you won’t see anything you haven't seen before.
Hip kids have happily realized there's no escape
from what lurks inside the trendy retail stores.
The kid in the corner of class is always ignored.
His parents shop at thrift stores because the bargain’s good.
When the pop kids go shopping there's nothing they can’t afford.
Just charge it all to daddy's credit card.
Youth culture will never go away. Kids fight to keep up.
Youth fashion will never go away, though it changes day by day.
Girls go walk around in uncomfortable shoes and smile for all the boys,
get drunk at a party and give it up to be cool.
Guys join a gym and get fuckin’ ripped for all the babes,
give smaller un-cool people shit. They’re probably all insane.
Youth culture will never go away. Kids fight to keep up.
Youth fashion will never go away, though it changes everyday.
I won’t be part of it though I’m sure that no one cares.
Youth culture will never go away.
Don't take part, just take it down.
Cell phone in your hand, petty earrings on your lobes,
a tattoo on your lower back: youth culture has dress codes.
No one thinks it frivolous and no one really cares
but that’s the way youth culture has it, that's probably why its there.
