About The Juvenile

"The Juvenile" is a song by Swedish pop band Ace of Base. It was released as the second single from their album Da Capo in Germany released in December 2002. It was originally written in 1995, as the proposed theme song to the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye, but Arista Records pulled the band out of the project. The song was then re-written as The Juvenile and still released as a single. The chorus of the song is very similar to the original version, just with a different line "the juvenile" instead of "the goldeneye".

The juvenile in a time where the night is so cold 
The juvenile has the key to the end 
The juvenile in the end, that is why we are here 
The world will take us to the end
Tomorrow's foe is now a friend 

Why don't we do it, like we used to do it all so long ago?
They kept together till the bitter end (all the young)
Today we don't care, even 'bout the youth above the old
They cannot rise their voice yet
But later they will do

The juvenile in a time where the night is so cold 
The juvenile has the key to the end (always believe in)
The juvenile in the end, that is why we are here 
The world will take us to the end
Tomorrow's foe is now a friend 

No education, we don't need no education telling us 
The right to choose, if we have no choice (no, no, no) 
It's so explosive, any day will burst into a fire 
All come down and guide us
Before it is too late

The juvenile in a time where the night is so cold 
The juvenile has the key to the end (always believe in)
The juvenile in the end, that is why we are here 
The world will take us to the end
Tomorrow's foe is now a friend 
Whoa who

Always and always and always believe in
Always believe in

The juvenile in a time where the night is so cold 
The juvenile has the key to the end (always believe in)
The juvenile in the end, that is why we are here 
The world will take us to the end
Tomorrow's foe is now a friend
