[Verse 1]

Set apart from the rest of the world

Caught up in the material world

With the forces of darkness on your side

No place to run, no place to hide


[Chorus]

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Oh, so young


[Verse 2]

Life's a struggle every day

Try so hard in your own way

Just waiting, waiting for the day

When strength and numbers come your way


[Chorus]

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Oh, so young


[Verse 3]

From the bottom to the top

Wondering where your life will stop

They can't let you speak your mind

Must control you and your kind

Power's for those who just can't feel

Rip and tear, hunt and steal

Nothing's lost when nothing's real

Nothing's lost when nothing's real


[Chorus]

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Oh, so young


[Verse 4]

Life's a struggle every day

Try so hard in your own way

Just waiting, waiting for the day

When strength and numbers come your way
