Bullet Proof Youth

We are the Bullet Proof youth
We are immune to disease
Impenetrable to germs
We are unstoppable
We skip along the edge of the platform
Despite the coming train
THAT is how we live
We laugh in the face of the devil
And spit into the winds of danger
Give us your worst
You can't hurt us

We hurl ourselves
With reckless abandon
Off the cliffs of chance
Daring our parachutes not to open

We ARE the Bullet Proof Youth

We bring strangers back to our house
We make our friends wait for us
We ignore consequence
We drink too much
We download illegally
We cut corner
We hope for the best

We use our credit cards like safety nets
There is no plan B
There is only plan today
We dance like thieves on the edge of a knife
We push our luck to the end of our life

Backpackers Code

Share everything you have
And look out for each other
And treat everyone you meet
Like you would treat your mother

Crafted in some other country. Possibly Australia.
History is full of examples of people who didn't discover their real creative abilities until they discovered the media in which they thought best. - Sir Ken Robinson
