Lyrics
Where did it go to my youth Where did it fade away to ? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth The truth we didn't want to know ?
What is it — do you know ? What is it — can I bear it ? Who did it — do I care ? Who is it — when did it happen and where ?
Why did you let me know How could you think I'd stand it ? You knew I'd pay you back I did it, and it happened — do you care ?
Where did it go to, my youth ? Where did it fade away to ? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth The truth we didn't want to know ?
Who is he — do you know ? This man of power but a fool They said he was so high and pure They also said that he was cruel
They killed him, did you see ? They knew he couldn't take it They wanted lies — he said the truth They did it — and it happened — who cares ?
Where did it go to, my youth ? Where did it slip away to ? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth The truth they didn't want to know ?
Why did you let me know How could you think I'd stand it ? You knew I'd pay you back I did it, and it happened — do you care ?
What is it — do you know ? Who did it — can I bear it ? Who did it — do I care ? Who is it — when did it happen and where ?
What is it — do you know ? Who did it — can I bear it ? Who did it — do I care ? Who is it — when did it happen and where ?
Where did it go to, my youth ? Where did it slip away to ? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth The truth I didn't want to know ?
