Hangman, we played

Rubber Soul with a razor blade

Behind the church, hiding placeIt was a long joke ′til the punchline came

Can you read my mind, read my mind?

Follow along to the end of the song

Hangman, we played

Double Dutch with a hand grenade

Behind the church, hiding place

Apathetic to the Devil's face

Wear the sheriff′s badge, put your toys away

They let us go, saying, "Let us pray" (youth without youth)

Youth without youth

Youth without youth

Youth without youth

Hangman, we played

Hide and seek on the fire escape

Through the smoke, we saw the flame

It was a long wait 'til the firetruck came

On the count of three, jump with me

On the count of three

One, two

One, two, three

Go (youth without youth)

Youth without youth

Go, go, go, go

Go (youth without youth)

Youth without youth

Go, go, go, go

Hangman, we played

Blind man's bluff with the 9th Brigade

Throw the brick through the windowpane

Double Dutch ′til they stop the game

′Til the cops show up, handcuff stunned

They let us go, but we lost one

Hangman, we played

Blind man's bluff ′til they stopped the game

Youth without youth, born without time

Youth without youth, can you read my mind? (Youth without youth)

Youth without youth

Oh, my, my mind

My, my, my mind (youth without youth)

Youth without youth

Oh, my, my mind
