Song lyrics
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sand-pit, life is a short trip
Music's for the sad men.

Can you imagine when this race is one
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
Music's played by the, the mad men

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever young?

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, and ever?

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

I could see how this song is about war, in the Marine Corps. we learned a saying from SgtMjr. Dan Daly, "Come on you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?"

I love this song, and I heard this awesome cover by a band called Pathfinder, it's really up beat, but the operatic intro is kinda weird

yeah! every school has its group and they played this song in our last day of high school, and everytime I listen the song I get into the same mood of that day which is really special and cool, And the lyrics is really great we all want to be forever youngs, and the music is really good, first a paragraph without percussion then the drums enter and the trumpet solo at the end, and the great voice of the singer, well this song is just excellent

I'm a musician, so I tend to notice chords, etc, more than most people. The astounding number of minor chords in this song lend credence to the belief that there's a deeper meaning to the song than just what the words say. (Besides, I tend to favor minor chords in my own music, so they stick out in my mind when I hear them.)

I heard this song on Napoleon Dynamite and loved it instantly.

I'm pretty sure its about war. Like, in the trenches (or sand-pit as its called in the song). They said "Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Are they gonna drop the bomb or not".
