lyrics

You're 18 now and you've finally got a choice
Whatcha' going to do now that you've got a voice
Screaming socialism from your bedroom floor
Screaming revolution but you don't know what for

You didn't know what to do but it felt all right
Socialism in your heart and a whole lot of fight
Talk of better worlds over ryes and beers
All it really did was lessen your fears

It's the same old story
Dreams stay dreams and life goes on
It's the same old story
Scratching your head because something ain't right
It's the same old story
Yesterday you could change the world

You're 24 now, you've got a job and a suit
Traded in your spikes, studs and boots
Living like they told you when you were young
Living like you hated when you were young

Tattoos become memories and regrets
Of a smoke-filled room that you'll never forget
You couldn't change the world but at least you tried
Now it seems like you're waiting every minute to die

You're 48 years old and you're living on UI
Computer screen played havoc with your eyes
Sit in your room and listen to Social D
Remember how ambitious you used to be
