When I Was Young

The Riot

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then.
And times were very hard,
When I was young.

I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And the girls I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young

When I was young it was more important
Paid more pain but the laughter much louder yeah... when I was young

Met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young.

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then.
And times were very hard,
When I was young

When I was young it was more important
Paid more pain but the laughter much louder yeah... when I was young!

My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then
When I was young.
