WHILE YOU'RE YOUNG
​
Going out - it's what we're supposed to like
Being loud and trying to pick a fight
With someone we don't know
'Cause that's really macho
I would get a piercing or a tat
But I might regret getting something
That I won't feel the same way about in a decade
It's all the rage when you are a certain age
Not to think before you act
To make a big mistake that you can't take back
While you're young you can do what you like
Have fun and party every night
We're young and we want it all
We're never wrong, it's never our fault
And we won't let them get us down
'Cause there is no tomorrow, there is only now
At a club - it's where our lives are spent
Or down the pub surfing the internet on costly new phones
Lost in our headphones
Getting drunk, 'cause that's the only way we can have fun
We don't have much to say, and that's why we come here
The place where we can't hear
To lose ourselves, or maybe find someone else
Someone who knows just what it's like
And goes through what I go through every day and night
CHORUS x 2
While you're young you can do what you like
Have fun and party every night
You're young - forget what you're taught
It's your life, it's yours to cut short
But that doesn't do it for me
I'd rather stay at home and watch some TV
​

GRUMPY OLD MAN
I've noticed they like to tell you how it is
Like that's how it's meant to be
You're crying as you're watching days go flying by
Remember how it used to be?
When you were younger you wouldn't be pushed aside
Now you take it in your stride every time they try
Who is stronger? The ones who paved the way
Or the ones who get their say every single day?
When I look in the mirror
I see that I've become everything they say
Guess that means I'm a grumpy old man
And I like that way
I'm feeling like they're stealing things I used to have
But they never were mine
I'm jealous - I could've had those careless days
But I never had the time
When I was younger I couldn't be pushed aside
Now I take it my stride every time they try
Who is stronger? The ones who paved the way
Or the ones who get their say every single day?
When I look in the mirror
I see that I've become everything they say
Guess that means I'm a grumpy old man
And I like it that way
And I like it that way
CHORUS x 2
