Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We're in trouble all the time

You read about us all in the papers

We walk around and bump into walls

A blind delegation

And we ain't afraid of high power

We're bullet proof

And we've never heard of Eisenhower missile power

Justice or truth

[Verse 2]

We're the department of youth

Your new department of youth

We're the department of youth

Just me and youth

[Verse 3]

We talk about this whole stupid world

And still come out laughing

We never make any sense

But hell that never mattered

But we'll make it through our blackest hour

We're living proof, and we've never heard of Billy Sunday

Daymon Runyon, Manners, or Coot

[Verse 4]

We're the department of youth

Your new department of youth

We're the department of youth

Just me and youth

[Verse 5]

We're the department of youth

The new department of youth

We're the department of youth

The new department of youth

[Verse 6]

We're the department of youth, ah

We got the power

We're the department of youth, ah

We got the power

We're the department of youth, ah

We got the power

We're the department of youth, ah

We got the power

[Verse 7]

We're the department of youth, ah

We got the power, we got the power, yeah

We're the department of youth, ah

We got the power, we got the power, yeah

We're the department of youth, ah

We got the power

And who gave it to you?

Donny Osmond
