This Is a Life - Youth Brigade

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
