Lost Boys
Zombina and the Skeletones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're lost boys never going home
We're lost souls born to be alone
But there's something you should know
We're the ones who make it so
But our time is coming around

I bet you work real hard for the money that you got
It takes a whole lot of crime to line these pockets
I bet you work real hard for the money that you got
It takes a whole lot of crime to line these pockets

All the lost boys and the girls that are losing it...
Go work it out!

I know a girl, she's one of a kind
But the poor little thing, she's going out of her mind
There's something you forgot - there's a reason why she's lost
Cos baby she don't want to be found

I bet you work real hard for the money that you got
It takes a whole lot of crime to line these pockets
I bet you work real hard for the money that you got
It takes a whole lot of crime to line these pockets

All the lost boys and the girls that are losing it, go work it out
All the lost boys and the girls that are losing it, go turn it up




All the lost boys and the girls that are losing it, hear what I say
All the lost boys and the girls that are losing it - takedown G.R.A.!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zombina & The Skeletones's song "Lost Boys" present a sense of loneliness, youth and rebellion. The main character is described as a lost soul, born to be alone, but with a strong desire to change the status quo. The song talks about the lost boys and girls who are feeling lost and aimless, but also about their strength and the power they have to change their own reality. While acknowledging that they are responsible for their own situation, the lyrics also point out that there is a reason why each character is lost, and that it is not necessarily something they can control.


The chorus of the song seems to criticize the system that creates a world where people have to work hard and even commit crimes to make ends meet. The lyrics imply that society is not taking care of these lost boys and girls, and that they have to fend for themselves. The song encourages these lost souls to work it out and turn it up, to take down G.R.A. (which stands for "Government Regulatory Authority"), and to find their own way to make a change.
