Lyrics:

Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
Speed jive dont wanna stay alive when youre twenty-five

And Wendys stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freedys got spots from ripping off the stars
From his face, funky little boat race

The television man is crazy saying were juvenile delinquent
wrecks
Oh man I need TV when I got T-Rex
Oh brother you guessed, Im a dude dad

All the young dudes
(Hey dudes!)
Carry the news
(Where are ya?)
Boogaloo dudes
(Stand up, come on)
Carry the news

All the young dudes
(I wanna hear you)
Carry the news
(I wanna see you)
Boogaloo dudes
(And I wanna talk to you, all of you)
Carry the news

Now Lucy looking sweet 'cause he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule, its a real mean team
But we can love, oh yes we can love

And my brothers back at home with his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that Revolution stuff
What a drag, too many snags

Now I drunk a lot of wine and Im feeling fine
Gotta race some cat to bed
Oh is there concrete all around or is it in my head?
Yeah, Im a dude dad

All the young dudes
(Hey dudes!)
Carry the news
(Where are ya?)
Boogaloo dudes
(Stand up)
Carry the news

All the young dudes
(I wanna hear ya)
Carry the news
(I wanna see you)
Boogaloo dudes
(And I wanna relate to you)
Carry the news

All the young dudes
(What dudes?)
Carry the news
(Lets hear the news, come on)
Boogaloo dudes
(I wanna kick you)
Carry the news

(Hey you there, with the glasses)
All the young dudes
Carry the news
(I want you)
Boogaloo dudes
(I want you at the front)
Carry the news
(Now you, all his friends)

All the young dudes
(Now you bring him down 'cause I want him)
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
(I want him right here, bring him, come on)
Carry the news
(Bring him, ha ha, here you go)

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 New International Version
16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
