Reagan Youth

[Verse 1] 95 degrees and it's summer '81 Window unit suffocation Steam out on the lawn Stretching khaki in the seats Rubber melting on the streets Cable's getting cheaper but there's something going on [Chorus] Reagan Youth taught you how to feel Reagan Youth showed you what was real But to tell the truth There was more than one Reagan youth [Verse 2] You can see your breath at the end of '89 'Cause the heat all drained away And your friends do not look fine Half of them go underground Half just disappear Either busted like a union Or reanimate with fear [Chorus] Reagan Youth taught you how to feel Reagan Youth showed you what was real But to tell the truth There was more than one Reagan youth Reagan Youth taught you how to feel Reagan Youth showed you what was real But to tell the truth There was more than one Reagan youth Reagan Youth sharpening their teeth Reagan Youth learning how to breathe Now we know the truth There was more than one Reagan youth [Outro] Reagan Youth Reagan Youth Reagan Youth
