Only 21

Only 21

Partisans (The)
(album: Time Was Right)

We grew up together
We saw it all we thought we had it made
but how was I gonna know
That the bond we had would soon begin to fade
The times we spent the fun we had
Are the memories that just turned bad
But that´s the price we pay for being young
We roamed the streets of every town
We almost had the country on its knees
But mass acceptance dragged you down
We were a problem overcome with ease
But unlike as we thought was right
We went down without a fight
And we let them grind us into the ground
The years have gone behind us
The things we´ve said and done
It´s strange to be nostalgic
When you´re only 21
There came a time when you were gone,
When everything you stood for disappeared
And now I look at the shadow left
And I doubt if you will reappear
´Cos you´ve left a legacy of clones
Of broken minds in broken homes
And it looks like I´ve become a memory
