[Intro: John Flansburgh, (John Linnell)]
Youth culture (Youth culture)
Youth culture (Youth culture)
Youth culture (Youth culture)
Youth culture (Youth culture)
[Refrain: John Flansburgh, (John Linnell)]
Youth culture killed my dog
And I don't think it's fair (I don't think it's fair)
And his suicide can be justified
By the taste makers, how they cried and cried
[Verse 1: John Flansburgh, John Flansburgh & John Linnell]
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: John Flansburgh, (John Linnell)]
Youth culture killed my dog
And I don't think it's fair (I don't think it's fair)
And the judgment made in the city of hate
Just broke his spirit so
[Verse 2: John Flansburgh, John Flansburgh & John Linnell]
Bacharach and David used to write his favorite songs
Never-never-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
Youth culture (Youth culture)
