When You're Young |
| Life is timeless, days are long when you’re young |
| You 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 on some weed, then you pull on someone when you’re young |
| But you find out life isn’t like that |
| It’s so hard to comprehend |
| Why you set up your dreams to have them smashed in the end |
| But you don’t mind you’ve 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 fearless and brave — 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 say «it's fun» |
| And you find out life isn’t like that |
| It’s so hard to understand |
| Why the world is your oyster but your future’s a clam |
| It’s got you in its grip before you’re born |
| It’s done with the use of a dice and a board |
| They let you think you’re king but you’re really a pawn |
| You’re fearless and brave — you can’t be stopped when you’re young |
| You used to fall in love with everyone |
| Any guitar and any bass drum |
