Let's dance in style,
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait,
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine if we won the war?
Little fascist lady she loves you so
Following her leader,
She's getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever - and ever
Some are like water,
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
Why can't I sleep when I'm thinking of you
The flag is up and burning
Forever young...
