[Intro]
Youth culture
Youth culture
Youth culture
Youth culture

[Refrain]
Youth culture killed my dog
And I don't think it's fair
And his suicide can be justified
By the taste makers, how they cried and cried

[Chorus]
Bacharach and David used to write his favorite songs
Never would he worry, he'd just run and fetch the ball
But the night lights and my dog's life aren't exactly one and the same

[Refrain]
Youth culture killed my dog
And I don't think it's fair
And the judgment made in the city of hate
Just broke his spirit so

[Chorus]
Bacharach and David used to write his favorite songs
Never would he worry, he'd just run and fetch the ball
But the hip-hop and the white funk just blew away my puppy's mind

[Bridge]
I don't understand what you did to my dog
And I don't understand what you did to my dog
I don't understand what you did to my dog
I don't understand what you did to my dog

[Refrain]
Youth culture killed my dog
And I don't think it's fair
And his suicide can be justified
By the taste makers, how they cried and cried, and so...

[Outro]
Youth culture
Youth culture
Broke his spirit so
Broke his spirit so
Youth culture
Youth culture
Youth culture
Broke his spirit so
Broke his spirit so
