We Were The Young Ones Lyrics
We Were The Young Ones
We were the young ones
Or so they all said
We were the young ones
I was well schooled and well read
We were the young ones
My back aches my feet are like lead (Alternative - We’d go out and paint the town red)
We were the young ones
All these memories ringing in my head
I woke up this morning
With the sun in my eyes
Alone in my bed
And the room full of flies
I switched on the TV
With the remote control
There was a plastic woman
Saying ‘she’s the new living doll’
We were the young ones
Like a shiny new car
We were the young ones
Now covered in marks and scars
We were the young ones
All fresh and unwed
We were the young ones
Well these tyres have worn treads
Refrain: Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones
I’ve been rocking and rolling
For most of my days
Been through the rain
And the purple haze
Never ever thought
As I went round the world (Alternative - As I went place to place)
That girls could be boys (Alternative - I’d find all this love)
And that boys could be girls (Alternative - Shining so bright in my face)
We were the young ones
Or so they all said
We were the young ones
We’ve all been so mislead
We were the young ones
In those times well past
We were the young ones
I wish those times could last
Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones
People just don’t talk anymore
It’s all done by text (Alternative - It’s all done by signs)
Feelings are cheap (Alternative - In these new times)
Like throwaway sex (Alternative - Nothing seems to rhyme)
I was always taught to show respect
I’m told I’m like an old shipwreck
We were the young ones
My back aches my feet are like lead (Alternative - We’d go out and paint the town red)
We were the young ones
All these memories ringing in my head
We were the young ones
In those times well past
We were the young ones
I wish those times could last
We were the young ones
In those times well past
We were the young ones
I wish those times could last
We were the young ones
Or so they all said
We were the young ones
We’ve all been so mislead
Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones
Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones
