Lyrics This Is a Life - Youth Brigade

This Is a Life

Remember when you were 14 man
Thinkin' you were cool
Got your courage from a paper bag
Drink till you drool
Saved up all your launched money
For the stadium tour
By the time the bands came on
You were passed out on the floor
Ever wonder why the generations
Forget their younger daze
Don’t understand the wild expressions
Are not merely a phaze
Smoking out in the bushes at school
Ditch class all day
Cops call your mom downtown
Say they’ll put you away
Tell them all to go to hell
They’ve got nothing on you
Always telling you what to do
And you’re always getting screwed
And you walk down to the beach
And jump into the sea
Surf till you can’t move then go out and rage till 3
Get up at 5 a.m. and do it all again
Oh, this is a life, I can’t complain
