Disparate Youth Lyrics

Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know now we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know that we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for

In their heads, hedging their bets, in their
Eyes it shows
When the beacon breaks, what then
You ask they don’t know
Oh tell me that I turn my back, well the
Odds all stand beneath me

And they all said I was misled, but now
The odds all stand beneath me

Oh-ah, Oh-ah
They’re frozen to the core
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don’t fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
How to win what they all lost
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know now we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
We know that we want more
Oh-ah, Oh-ah
A life worth fighting for

We hear that rumble
Don’t hear what you say
Now here we come
Can’t throw nothing in our way
Ay-yo

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

The leading single off of Santigold’s 2nd LP Master of My Make-Believe, Disparate Youth is about overcoming adversity and defining who you are rather than being who others say you should be (parents, media, etc.)
