paroles de chanson When We Were Young (Live) - Stiff Little Fingers

It doesn't seem so long now
The world was at your feet
You'd all those friends around you then
Your life was really "neat"
You're alone again with nothing
And they've all disappeared
Wake up to life
Stand up, fight back
You've everything to gain
They say that it's all over
I say: "Like hell it is"
They told us the same lies when we were young

I wish you could see through them
Your "buddy buddy" friends
You bought them drinks, they watched you sink
And bailed out at the end
You're better off without them
Although you just can't see
Let's make a start
It's not that hard
Together, you and me
They'll say that we can't do it
I say: "Let's show 'em how"
Prove them wrong the way we did when we were young

When we were young
When we were young
They told us the same lies
When we were young

When they said that you'd get nowhere
Did your life tear at the seams?
Or did you wake up the next day
More determined than you'd been?

It's time to look around you
Take stock of what you've done
Of what you're worth
Of those who care
And those who cut and run
It's time to start believing
That you just can't be beat
Your own best friend
True to the end
Stand on your own two feet
They'll say it's self delusion
I say: "It's self belief"
Let's show them how we were when we were young

They say that it's all over
I say: "Like hell it is"
They'll say it's self delusion
I say: "It's self belief"
Back when we were young
Back when we were young
