Hey, Mom!
I have an electric guitar
For a long time this was everything
That I wanted to have
But, hey, Mom!
Something was left behind
I used to know exactly what to do
Hey, mom!
There are some friends playing with me (in a band)
They are cool, moreover
They don't even want to know
But now, out there
Everybody is an island
Miles and miles and miles
From anywhere
In this land of giants
I know, we've heard it all before
Youth is a band
In a soda advertisement
The magazines, the revolts, the achievements
Of youth
They are inheritances, they are motives
For the changes of attitude
Discs, dances, risks
Of youth
A clean face, dirty clothes
Hoping that the weather changes
In this land of giants
All this has been said before
Youth is a band
In a soda advertisement
Hey, mom!
I don't care anymore
For a long time
That was all I could do
But, hey hey, Mom!
As much as we grow
There are always things that people
Can't understand
Therefore, mom
Just wake me up when the sun has set
I don't want to see my face
Before nightfall
'Cause now outside
The whole world is an island
Miles and miles and miles
In this land of giants
Who exchange lives for diamonds
Youth is a band
In a soda advertisement
In this land of giants
Who exchange lives for diamonds
Youth is a band
In a soda advertisement
Hey, mom!
Hey, mom!
