Lyrics Wasted Youth - Jenny Lewis

Wasted Youth

System will slide in
Down upon
I can’t tell you what I think you’re doing wrong
Stop your crying
Our daddy is gone
Do you remember when he used to sing us that little song?
I wasted my youth
On a poppy, du-du-du-du-du
Just for fun
I wasted my youth
On a poppy, du-du-du-du-du
Just for fun
Why you lyin'?
The Bourbon’s gone
Mercury hasn’t been in retrograde for that long
Oh no
Stop your hiding
And drop that bong
Do you remember when I used to sing you this little song?
I wasted my youth
On a poppy, du-du-du-du-du
Just for fun
I wasted my youth
On a poppy, du-du-du-du-du
Just because
And everybody knows it’s a tightrope
The cookie crumbles into dust
And everybody knows we’re in trouble
Du-du-du-du-du, candy crush
Just 'cause you’re young don’t mean nothing
Don’t mean nothing
We are here and we’re gone
Do something while your heart is thumping
I wasted my youth
On a poppy, du-du-du-du-du
Just because
I wasted my youth
On a poppy, du-du-du-du-du
Just for fun
And everybody knows it’s a tightrope
The cookie crumbles into dust
And everybody knows we’re in trouble
Du-du-du-du-du, candy crush
Wasted my youth
Wasted youth
Du-du-du-du-du
Wasted youth
Du-du-du-du-du
Wasted youth
Du-du-du-du-du
