Death Loves Youth Lyrics by The Levellers

Letters from the Underground

2008

Well I heard today the saddest words
Another friend has gone from this world
Simple life he'd had but the bitter truth
Is that the good die young and death loves youth

And although I wish with all my soul
There can be no better goal
For us to shed all the bitter fruit
But the good die young and death loves youth

And far way they're making plans
To steal from this world yet another man
With one word here and another there
They've prepared a grave for us to share

So how am I to take revenge
On a world that seems to never end?
From taking all of the sweetest fruit
If I don't stop now I'll never know

So why did the good ones die
When there's plenty left that spit in your eye
They seem to live forever on
But death loves youth and the good die young

So don't you laugh, don't you cry
Don't you dare spit in my eye
Before me now I have the final proof
That the good die young and death loves youth
