[Verse 1]
The moon is up, there's a party on the beach
It's not a pretty one, it's a cocaine beach
Fair enough, 'cause we came prepared
Club [?] in the jungle, at least a few of them who doubt

[Chorus]
Believe me when I tell you darling
Youth is wasted on the young, uh
We don't know where we belong
Youth is wasted on the young
On the young

[Verse 2]
All so reckless in the middle of ecstasy
Saying lead us to temptation, lead us to insanity
Sweating like a fever, although it's 3 AM
Silly ritual to work the dancefloor like a gym

[Chorus]
I am one of them, I've seen that
Youth is wasted on the young, uh
We don't know where we belong
Youth is wasted on the young
On the young, on the young, on the young
[Bridge]
Like a tidal wave it came
Can you tell on me that I'm not afraid of
The fear of missing out, my baby
Though it's [?] on the show and it broke through every door
We're still standing, we're still standing baby

[Chorus]
Believe me when I tell you darling
Youth is wasted on the young
On the young, on the young
I am one of them, I've seen it now
And we don't know where we belong
Darling, youth is wasted on the young
