In a lonely corner
The sound of music drowns my sorrows
As the DJ plays a song that makes me high
Anarchy by the Pistols plays
And old punks saying now they were the days
When everything then just seemed to pass them by
Chorus
I've been searching for a dream
I must have only been about sixteen
But things were easier then than now
Stealing beer and having fun
The cops have got us on the run
But things were easier then than now
I look back at some things
At what we did and wondering
How we ever got out alive
Young punks up to no good
Kickin' down doors and annoying the neighbours
With only one will and that was the will to survive
Chorus
I've been searching for a dream
I must have only been about sixteen
But things were easier then than now
Stealing beer and having fun
The cops have got us on the run
But things were easier then than now
I look back at
Ever changing ways
That's why they say
Those were the days
Those were the days....
It's just a place in time
You're looking for but you just can't find
The memories lie deep inside your mind
Young punks up to no good
Kickin' up a fuss and against the system
It's pay back time 'cause we have an axe to grind
Chorus
I've been searching for a dream
I must have only been about sixteen
But things were easier then than now
Stealing beer and having fun
The cops have got us on the run
But things were easier then than now
Repeat Chorus
