lyrics

Burn in the hearth your scarf, your scarf
Your mother's work is done!
And all her fond, long-suffered fears, my dears
Were bound to come undone.

You are loved because you're young
You are loved because you're young

The howling wolf of youth, your youth
Will one day be a half-eyed pup
That sleeps inside a silent shoe
With a broken bud under its tongue.

You are loved because you're young
You are loved because you're young

For now all war is fair. is fair
And you are right to fly in the face of all advice.
Come break your fleets against our feet;
The blood on your teeth is so sweet.

You are loved because you're young
You are loved because you're young
