Youth of America is the second studio album by Portland, Oregon-based punk rock band Wipers. It was released in 1981 by record label Park Avenue.
Background
The album marked a distinctive change in the band's sound. Compared to its predecessor, Is This Real?, which was composed mostly of raw, sleek and relatively traditional songs, Youth of America featured much longer and complex compositions; the title track alone clocks in at over 10 minutes. According to frontman Greg Sage, this change of pace was a deliberate counter-reaction against the trend of releasing short songs, which many punk bands did at the time.
Reception
According to Sage, the album was not well received in the United States at the time of its release, but fared better in Europe.
Reissue
Youth of America was later reissued on record labels Backbone and Restless, with different covers for each, and on Sage's own Zeno Records as disc 2 of the Wipers Box Set, albeit with a different running order to the original vinyl issue.

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
'Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I cared
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared
Unaware, I just did what I always do
Every day, the same routine

Lyrics:
Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
'Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I cared
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared
Unaware, I just did what I always do
Every day, the same routine
Before I skate off to school
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest
Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Though I sit by him in class
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because
We are, we are the youth of the nation
We are, we are youth of the nation
We are, we are the youth of the nation
We are, we are youth of the nation
Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself
She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better
Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool
He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide
It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then
You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat
We are, we are the youth of the nation
We are, we are youth of the nation
We are, we are youth of the nation
We are, we are youth of the nation
Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain
That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind
I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know
There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists
We are, we are the youth of the nation
We are, we are youth of the nation
We are, we are the youth of the nation
We are, we are youth of the nation
We are, we are the youth of the nation
We are, we are youth of the nation
We are, we are the youth of the nation
We are, we are youth of the nation
The youth of the nation
We are youth of the nation
We are youth of the nation
We are youth of the nation
We are

Say a prayer for the youth of America. God bless the youth America. I can't stand their sight anymore, All the dead kids lying on your door, And you don't hear a word they're tellin ya. You're all dead. You're all dead... You've been wasted. Don't believe a thing they're selling ya. They got a carrot on a stick in front of ya. Take it back from a hurting child, You know they can't even use it now, And it was yours in the first place anyway. You're all dead. You're all dead... You've been wasted. [musical interlude] You're all dead. You're all dead... Wasted. Say a prayer for the youth of America... [x4]
