When We Were Young

When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young Everything was so new We broke all the rules Just to do it And I don't know how the hell I lived through it Young and on the run Gettin' loaded like a gun When we were young Time sure flies When your havin' fun I wish I walked through life But I chose to run I used to beat for abuse And play with guns I played to pay the price Till my life ain't done I remember runnin' wild Not a care in the world It was all about graffiti And chasin' the girls Runnin' from the law And bar room brawls Gettin' arrested callin' home With those late night calls (when we were young) Sorry mom I'm in jail again Tonight I got arrested With a couple of friends You can either pick me up Or you can send me some mint Either way mom it looks like I messed up again Back to my p.o. or rehab Or up north to see dad Its just the way it goes You were born to be bad I been a fool Skippin' school Flickin' off the principal Its hard for mom to believe me But she's so convincable (When we were young) [Chorus] (When we were young) Shoplifting gifts for the girls With my boys Walkin' out the s*x shop Pockets full of s*x toys And we rang the noise Like you wouldn't believe At sixteen started gettin' tattoos Up my sleeve So went up to thirty-two Takin' part in dirty deeds So if you want to get high I got whatever you need And if you want to get 'em up I ain't afraid to bleed I've been to y.a. three times So don't you step to me And while you bragged to your parents 'bout your A's and be 's I was underneath the bleechers With a t.h.c, a g.e.d, a chemical dependancy And a p.h.d in whiskey and stoner-ology Met the break-through In ways to use technology And you can learn from my mistakes But its more fun to follow me And its never too late I don't hate who I've become So that smokin' at the one And we remember when we were young [Chorus] When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young When we were young
