When You're Young Lyrics - About The Young Idea - Jam

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Photos 

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
