[Verse 1]
I see pictures in my head
A world where the suffering's dead
And they can't fight or unjustly arrest
Anybody for the color of their body

[Chorus]
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them

[Verse 2]
Drop a hairdryer into my bath
Shocks like that make me laugh
It's fun to laugh when you're sad
Be happy, come on, let me be happy

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Why do you wanna go turn back time?

[Chorus]
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them

[Bridge]
My mum thinks I'm on heroin
And my dad just thinks I'm gone
But they don't know fucking anything
Say “youth is wasted on the young”
My mum thinks I'm on heroin
And my dad just thinks I'm gone
But they don't know fucking anything
Say “youth is wasted on the young”
Wasted on the young
Wasted on the young
Wasted on the young
Wasted on the young

[Chorus]
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want (What they want)
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them (Control them)
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want (What they want)
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them (Control them)
We've got to keep control of them
We've got to keep control of them
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want

Dominic Richard Harrison, who performs under the moniker of YUNGBLUD, fuses alternative rock and hip-hop while speaking up on important topics like mental illness and politics. Hailing from Doncaster, England, he cites acts like Arctic Monkeys and Eminem as influences.

Harrison grew up surrounded by music, and in several interviews he mentions that his parents placed a ukulele in his hands within days of his birth. His father owned a guitar shop and his grandfather was part of T. Rex.

Before becoming YUNGBLUD, he performed as Harrison, releasing songs like “Miss Those Days” with an upbeat acoustic flare. In his late teens, Harrison was approached by a record label, and conformed to their expectations hoping for a successful career, but he left the label in favor of making the music he truly wanted to create.
