Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We share young blood on this old land
But why do young hearts sit in old hands?
And they listening close to the things that we say
So, who's leading the way if we push till it breaks?
[Verse 2]
Got white Australia packed in
Came to see me and my black kin
And they're not raising the age to fill up a cage
And all that I'm seeing is black kids
Uluṟu had a heartbeat
And them Nowra streets had a heartbeat
So I rolled up on the day after and I put treaty on repeat
It was black x when you see me
When you see Barkaa, when you see Laroi, see South Summit
See Thelma Plum, see Becca Hatch, and you see 3
[PreChorus]
You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take
[Chorus]
Youngblood
Say you want me, say you want me
Out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
'Coz you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Youngblood
Say you want me, say you want me
Out of your life
'Coz I'm just a dead man walking tonight
'Coz you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
I bit my tongue and bit it again
Allergic to that too, pretend
Poppy tall, they tulip it
Wake up and smell the roses
Love you and leave you, the pattern complete
Price that you pay don't come with receipt
You bite the apple, I gotta sleep
Starving for knowledge, but nothing to eat
Give no attention, be dead in a week
Road to riches don't save you a seat
You show them love then label a fraud
How the hell my people gon' eat?
Matriarchs, all my sisters is sweet
Warriors, all my brothers is me
Four hundred deaths, still nothing to say
Four hundred deaths, keeping saying they name, ha
[Chorus]
Youngblood
Say you want me, say you want me
Out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
'Coz you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Youngblood
Say you want me, say you want me
Out of your life
'Coz I'm just a dead man walking tonight
'Coz you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
[PreChorus]
Push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take
Running around and I'm running away
Running away from you
Mmm, from you
[Chorus]
Youngblood
Say you want me, say you want me
Out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
'Coz you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
