Sixteen Again

from Nothing Comes From Nothing by Rat Patrol

/

lyrics

Sixteen years old, what fun we had, a life without problems, just acting mad. All day long being the beast in school, just hanging around, just acting cool. And every night I met my friends, playing records of our favourite bands. A couple of sixpacks and off we went to a party or to the pubs on the weekend. Drinking beer and chasing girls, we felt like we could win the entire world. When our parents went out, we played with the band. We were so cool, we had it all in hand. Fight at school and with mum and dad, being bored and being bad. Sixteen years old, pissed and proud, but we didn’t know what life was all about.
58 years old and look at us now, not getting better, just going down. Drinking scotch and watching TV, is this the we, we wanted to be? There are no wild parties anymore, is this what we’ve all been fighting for? No way out, doing the best we can. Oh god, how I wish I were sixteen again.
