Some of them come now
Some of the running
Some of them looking for fun
Some of them looking for away out of confusion
Some of them don't know where to be
Some of them don't know where to go
Some of them trust their instincts
That somethings missing from the show
Some don't fit society
Their insides are crying low
Some of them teachers squashed the flame
'fore it had a chance to grow
Some of them embers still glow
Them charcoal hushed and low
Some of them come with hunger supressed
Not fed them feel the death blow, yo
CHORUS:
Young man control in your hand
Slam your fist on the table
And make your demand
Take a stand
Fan a fire for the flame of the youth
Got the freedom to choose
You better make the right move
Young man, the power's in your hand
Slam your fist on the table and make your demand
You got to make the right move
"youth is the engine of the world"
Storm the halls of vanity
Focus your energy
Into a laser beam
Streaming shattered light
Unites to pierce between the seams
And it seems
The world open peering
The children see
Rapid fire for your mind
Half a truth is just a lie
They rub me the wrong way
They say their way or fall behind
Seventeen disconnect left out
The concept as to why
There's a spiritual emptiness
So the youth them get vexed
Skip class and get wrecked
Feel with beer and cigarettes
To fill the hole in their chest!

Review about Youth Ridiculous | Reviewer: Danny Collins | 12/22/08
It's ridiculous to call this song sexist. He's writing music trying to send out a message, and you're taking it all wrong. It's not sexist at all. I can't believe that you'd take something with a positive message and smear it's meaning. Sit and listen to the song, it's not saying at all that women aren't equal.
That's just ridiculous.
Young man misunderstanding... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/27/07
Why, people always have to critize and judge. Matisyahu, is doing something great in the history of the music. Having catchi beats with a positive message, Something not everyone is able to do. Why? when someone wants to do something positive people still try to shoot you down. Instead of critizing you should congratulate him for spreading the message of Love instead of Hate.
Young man and woman | Reviewer: Akimoto | 3/6/07
The term 'young man' is, like 'man kind', a generical term for the youth of both sexes addressed in the song.
Furthermore, the term is present only in the chorus. This can be read as a reference to BOTH sexes, unless you want to label the singer and the song as sexist and say that it refers to only men.
Hopefully this helps clear things up. Cheers!

i liked the song till I read it and it said "youth man control in your hand, slam your fist on the table, and make your demand, take a stand, fan a fire for the flame of the youth, got the freedon to choose, you better make the right move, young man, the power's in your hand." so in he saying woman don't have the right to do the same? I think it sexest. so whatever!
