Life is time you spend alone when you're young Used to fall in love with everyone Any guitar and any bass drum Life is a drink, and you get drunk When you're young
Life is new and there's things to be done You can't wait to be grown up Acceptance into the capital world You pull out some weed and their bullets are warm When you're young
But you find out life isn't like that It's so hard to comprehend But you set up your dreams To have them smashed in the end
But you don't mind You got time on your side And they're never gonna make you stand in line You're just waiting for the right time
You're feeling so great you can't be stopped when you're young You swear you're never ever gonna work for someone No corporations for the new age sons Tears of rage roll down your face But still you says it's fun
But you find out life isn't like that You try hard to understand Well the world is your oyster but your future's a clam It's got you in its grip Before you're born You're stoned with a user that I can't afford They'll let you be a king But you're really a pawn
You're feeling so bright you can't be stopped when you're young Used to fall in love with everyone Any guitar and any bass drum
Country -- the lights are going out In millions of homes and thousands of flats Goin' out, goin' out, goin' out, goin' out Goin' out, goin' out, goin' out, goin' out
