Young The Guilty by The Parlotones Lyrics

Basement breakdown
Government shakedown
Superman jazzman
Super-low attention span
Backseat driver
Coca-cola spider
Positive negative
Immigrant survivor

Pardon me for knowing
I beg your pardon me

Tightrope paycheck
Enigmatic cigarette
Raging redneck
Shooting up the discotheque

Pardon me for crying
I beg your pardon me

When we were young
It was flowers and fun
We used to shout at the man in the tower above
Now that you’re old, it’s just money and fame
If you look in the mirror it’s a crying shame
Young…young and the guilty
We’ve lost our humanity
We’re just statues under the sun
Young…young and the guilty
Poisoned by money
The young and the guilty

A world next door to yours
Robots on the radio
Journey through the shadows
Giants on the piano
Stardust Galaxies
Artefacts & antiques
Episode melodies
Chinese remedies

Pardon me for singing
I beg your pardon me

When we were young
It was flowers and fun
We used to shout at the man in the tower above
Now that you’re old, it’s just money and fame
If you look in the mirror it’s a crying shame

Young, young and the guilty
We’ve lost our humanity
We’re just statues under the sun
Young, young and the guilty
Poisoned by money
The young and the guilty
