## Lyrics

I see pictures in my head

A world where the suffering's dead

And they can't fight or unjustly arrest

Anybody for the color of their body

[Chorus]

Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want

Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them

[Verse 2]

Drop a hairdryer into my bath

Shocks like that make me laugh

It's fun to laugh when you're sad

Be happy, come on, let me be happy

[Pre-Chorus]

Why do you wanna go turn back time?

Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind

Why do you wanna go turn back time?

Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind

Why do you wanna go turn back time?

Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind

Why do you wanna go turn back time?

Why do you wanna go turn back time?

[Chorus]

Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want

Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them

Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want

Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them

[Bridge]

My mum thinks I'm on heroin

And my dad just thinks I'm gone

But they don't know fucking anything

Say “youth is wasted on the young”

My mum thinks I'm on heroin

And my dad just thinks I'm gone

But they don't know fucking anything

Say “youth is wasted on the young”

Wasted on the young

Wasted on the young

Wasted on the young

Wasted on the young

[Chorus]

Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want (What they want)

Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them (Control them)

Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want (What they want)

Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them (Control them)

We've got to keep control of them

We've got to keep control of them

Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
