Things Were Easier Then Than Now

 

 

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
