Because you're young - The Offenders

Because you’re young, sharp as a knife

You need that buzz to come alive

Out on the edge, out on the town

You ain’t got time to settle down

You’re always sure, you’re always right

You see it all in black and white

You never listen to anyone

Because you’re young

Because you’re young, you’re torn between

A world of hate and a world of dreams

So much to lose, so much to gain

So much to fight for, so much to change

You don’t look back, you don’t look down

You gotta turn everything around

You live your life like a loaded gun

Because you’re young

Stop talking back, get off the phone

You’re late again, you missed the last bus home

This ain’t the way you wanna live

I know something’s got to give

You’re always sure, you’re always right

You see it all in black and white

You never listen to anyone

Because you’re young
