Help Save The Youth Of America From Exploding

At the end of the last post I quoted the song from which the title of my blog came from. I thought after that some might want to know where it is from if you don't already know. It is from the song "Help Save The Youth Of America From Exploding" from Less Than Jake's fourth Album, Hello Rockveiw. Here are the lyrics in case you are interested:

Sit down. Remind me how
this is the same old story of growing up and getting lost.

And just outside I can hear the sound
of the early morning street
becoming way too loud.
The hum of the engines in the cars on the street.
And with this cigarette that I just lit
as I passed the 53rd Street bridge.
Right now the world just seems too big,the world just seems too big.

Sit down. Remind me how
this is the same old story of growing up and getting lost.

And just outside I can see my breath
in between the words
that fog my spinning head.
And I can see the sun coming up,
and its just light enough to see.

And all the late-night calls
with all the lost hopes.
And all the missed connections
and the lost directions.

Sit down. Remind me how
this is the same old story of growing up and getting lost.
