10 Too Young Too Die
Jamiroquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't want no war no
No, no, no
We're all too young to die
Too young to die
So many people
All around the world, yeah
Seen their brothers fry
(I seen your brother fry)
What's the motive?
In that madness
Oh, I wish I knew, you made my people cry
(You made my people cry)
So politicians
This time
I think you'd better keep your distance
Say, sing it loud
We're too young to
Do-do-do-do-do
Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
Do-do-do-do, da-da-do
Da-da-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Da-da-do, da-da-do
Yo, it's the message?
All gone when we drop the bomb
Can the politicians reassure?
'Cause here I am Presuming that
Nobody wants a war
There's so many people praying
Just to find out if they're staying
But lately stately governments
And disillusioned leaders
Are full of empty promises
But rarely do they feed us
Put our backs against the wall
Or don't we count at all?
Can you decide
Are you mesmerised?
Do you know which side you're standing?
'Cause when it falls don't take us all
Gotta know what we're demanding
I never lie, can't you hear the cry?
Coming from on high
We're too young to die
Do-do-do-do-do
Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
Do-do-do-do, da-da-do

(Oh, don't you know)
(We're too young to die)
(Yeah, oh, I'm too young)
Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
(I'm just too young)
Do-do-do-do-do
Da-da-do, da-da-do-do
(Oh, don't you know)
(We're too young to die)
(Yeah, oh, I'm too young)

The lyrics of Jamiroquai's song "Too Young to Die" convey a powerful message against war and violence. The song begins with the repeated line "Don't want no war no," followed by the declaration that "We're all too young to die." The message is clear: war causes unnecessary destruction and loss of life, and it is not something that the younger generation is willing to accept.
The song goes on to discuss the impact of war on people around the world. The lyrics mention "brothers fry," a reference to people dying in conflicts. The singer expresses confusion over the motives behind war and wishes that the politicians making the decisions could understand the devastation they are causing. The lyrics also suggest that governments and leaders are not living up to their promises, and that people are becoming disillusioned and angry.
Despite the serious message of the song, it is delivered with an upbeat and funky style, which is typical of Jamiroquai. This juxtaposition of serious subject matter and lighthearted groove adds to the impact of the lyrics, making it more likely that listeners will pay attention to the message.

I cannot understand how people can dislike a band like Jamiroquai. Incredibly talented musicians with an undeniable fat groove, meaningful lyrics, and Jay's voice acid quality that is NOT too much. Appreciate what's good.
@bepivisintainer2975
tell me about it....in the 90 I thought that it was some dj crap.
then I realized that it was an actual band. Real people playing real instruments.
It changed my perception of them

It’s crazy. Despite being made in 1993, this feels like it is from the 70s and something futuristic at the same time.

Could’ve been made in modern times as a retro tune
