spade the kids too heavy to dream
they barely sleep, they barely speak
they say, "something good seldom happens"

so they bore their friends, they bore themselves
ostracize their entire lives to deaden all it's wonders
then what do they have besides the cool blue nothing

jazz cigarettes and jaded ears but who's to say either can get you laid
don't struggle with yourself, thinking what's the inside on the outs
I say hey man $#&@ it, if you want sex that bad, pay for it


I dove and stayed dry
stained the pool with what was on my mind

blaming is believing I think
so I gave up swearing at the clouds for a couple of weeks


so what, we've got a million reasons
so what, we've got an infinite amount of reasons
so what, we've got a million reasons

so what, I can't hear happiness anymore

youth crew blues, I'm singing to you

no excuse will do, you've got to stay positive
youth crew blues, I'm singing to you
no excuse will do, you've got to stay positive


tell me why I feel the need to be a dick to all my friends when I think about the past and the %#@!ty things that happened
and why I worry and I think everyone's out to %#@! on me, I just want a healthy relationship with one $#&@ing human being

tell me, tell me why? do you have an answer?
tell me, tell me why? do you have an answer?
oh no?

no excuse will do, you've got to stay positive
