The Jam - 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 run 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.
