The Youth Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

MGMT’s “Youth” is a song about change, love, and youthful rebellion. It’s quite a part of the “modern hippie” status quo, but you can’t hate on another one of MGMT’s great songs.
