Youth of america


yoa - is living in the jungle - fighting for survival - but
there's no place to go.

yoa - there's pressure all around - the walls are crumbling
down - the walls are coming down on you.

it is time we rectify this now - we got to see it now - got
to see it now - now - now.

they attack you from the right side - down the left side -
down the middle till you don't know who you are.
stay around - think it don't really matter - there trying to put
you 6 feet under the ground.

it is time we rectify this now - we got to feel this now - got
to feel this now - now - now.

it is time we rectify this now - we got to heal it now -
got to heal it now - now - now.

yoa - is living in the jungle - fighting for survival
but there's no place to go - no place to go - no place to go.

the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
now there's no place left to go
got to get off of this rot
do you want to be born here again?
i don't want to be bored here again
there just ain't no resistance
beware of those guys in disguise
were living in the jungle fighting for survival
can't wait much longer - hurry

they'll attack you from the right side - down the left side
down the middle till you don't know where you are.
stick around - think it don't really matter - there trying to put
you 6 feet under the ground.

it is time we rectify this now - we got to hear it now - got
to hear it now - now - now.

yoa - youth youth youth youth youth
yoa - yoa - you you you you

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Melvins are a hard rock/metal band formed in Washington state in the 1980s. The core of the group consists of vocalist and guitarist Buzz Osborne, known as "King Buzzo", and drummer Dale Crover. Initially influenced by hardcore punk bands like Black Flag, they incorporated elements of heavy metal from groups like Black Sabbath, creating a unique sound that has made them a cult underground reality. Despite having built a solid base of devoted fans, including members of bands like Tool, Mastodon, and Boris, The Melvins have never achieved mainstream success. They are considered one of the pillars of grunge, with their music having deeply influenced Nirvana, with whom they shared friendship and collaborations. Drummer Dale Crover also played with Nirvana on some occasions. Among their most important albums are "Melvins" (1992), originally titled "Lysol", and "Houdini" (1993), partly produced by Kurt Cobain. Other representative tracks include "Honey Bucket", "A Senile Man", and "The Bit Bucket".
