Lyrics:
Assassins of Youth
Even when they tell the truth
Another little part of you dies
Their truth is a lie
Assassins of Youth
Shoot whoever they can shoot
They are still here going on and on
You’re already gone
I was young
Yesterday
But everything has changed
After today
Now I don't know
What to do
Oh my younger self
Oh I
I miss you
Yes I do
Assassin of Youth
Even when they tell the truth
Another little part of you dies
The truth is a lie
Assassin of Youth
Shoot whoever they can shoot
They are still here going on and on
You’re already gone
Gone
I was young
Yesterday
But everything is changed after today
And I don't know
What to do
Oh my younger self
Oh I
I miss you
Yes I do
I guess I couldn't see
The joke it was on me How sad to think in time
Even your death will die
I can't believe their lies
I can’t believe you’ve died
They shoot whoever they can shoot
Assassins of youth

The Flaming Lips are the poets of America. Like Walt Whitman did in 1865, they reflect and refract the mirror of our existence in this time and place - this blink of an eye, the marching of the ants, hallelujah to those that can connect to the all. THANK YOU.

~THE HIT MEN MISSED ME..EVERY SINGLE MOMENT WE'RE THE YOUNGEST WE'LL EVER BE~

Being an Okie, growing up with Wayne literally down the street...I have been fortunate to see the Lips grow and expand their craft. It’s always a special day when their new albums come out. American Head is an interesting hybrid of Wayne’s own history involving his brother, drugs and trauma. Listening to each song is a story. Assassins of Youth immediately grabbed my attention as a go-to track. Beautiful and experimental in that Lippy blip and bloop way that’s so endearing and exciting.

Lucky you! I am envious..

This made my whole day! All tucked in & playing new Flaming Lip songs for lullabies. Wayne’s voice, forever fabulous. 💋🎶😴

Coincidence that I stumbled upon this just the day after its release? I think not. Despite all that is going on right now, the Flaming Lips bring joy.
