I've been working all day
and i don't feel good
sick of everybody in this neighborhood
got no respect for authority
ain't nobody gonna tell me who to be
'cause what you see is what you get
so what if we live on welfare cheques
"get a proper job" you're thinking
but it's not your problem

'cause when you're young and stupid
don't have nothing to lose
don't notice the mistakes but they
seem to notice you
so many clouded memories
so many faded dreams
looking back into my past
i wouldn't change a thing

i gotta great big debut and a guy to pay
it's about half past 10, it's getting late
glad i don't have work tomorrow
i can sit here and drown my sorrows
i gotta plan to get out of this place
and everything else that i seem to hate
pack my bags and run away
and disappear without a trace

Please sir, can i have some more?
Why fucking not

'cause when you're young and stupid
don't have nothing to lose
don't notice the mistakes
but they seem to notice you
so many clouded memories
so many faded dreams
looking back into my past
i wouldn't change a thing
