Because You're Young
Cock Sparrer Lyrics

Because you're young, sharp as a knife
You're youthful and full of energy, always ready for action and eager to experience the world around you.

You need that buzz to come alive
You seek out excitement and adventure to feel alive and engaged with the world.

Out on the edge, out on the town
You crave the thrill of being on the cutting edge, living life to the fullest in the midst of all the action and excitement around you.

You ain't got time to settle down
You're too busy living life to its fullest to worry about settling down and getting comfortable.

You're always sure, you're always right
You have a strong sense of self and a clear understanding of your beliefs and values, leading you to be confident in your decisions and opinions.

You see it all in black and white
You have a clear sense of what's right and wrong, and seldom see shades of gray in moral or ethical matters.

You never listen to anyone
You're fiercely independent, marching to the beat of your own drum and refusing to be swayed by the opinions or advice of others.

Because you're young, you're torn between
Being young means feeling pulled in different directions, with many conflicting desires and ambitions jostling for dominance.

A world of hate and a world of dreams
You're constantly bombarded by negativity and pessimism from some quarters, but you also have big dreams and ideas that motivate and inspire you.

So much to lose, so much to gain
Being young means having everything to gain, but also everything to lose if things go wrong. You feel the weight of all the possibilities and potential outcomes of your choices and actions.

So much to fight for, so much to change
You feel a strong sense of purpose and a desire to make the world a better place, driving you to fight for the causes you believe in and effect positive change.

You don't look back, you don't look down
You're too focused on the future and all the possibilities ahead to spend much time looking backward or dwelling on past mistakes.

You gotta turn everything around
Being young means having the chance to start fresh and turn things around when you make mistakes or face setbacks. You're not afraid to take risks and try something new.

You live your life like a loaded gun
You approach life with a sense of urgency and intensity, much like a loaded gun ready to go off. You're always ready to act and seize opportunities.

Stop talking back, get off the phone
Sometimes, young people can be impulsive and speak without thinking, leading to conflicts or misunderstandings. It's important to take a step back and think before speaking.

You're late again, you missed the last bus home
Being young means making mistakes and experiencing setbacks, such as missing a bus home. But you're resilient and resourceful, always finding a way to pick yourself up and keep going.

This ain't the way you want to live
Even with all the excitement and possibilities of youth, it's important to take stock and consider whether your current path is truly fulfilling and sustainable in the long run.

I know something's got to give
Sometimes, you need to make tough choices or sacrifices to move forward and achieve your goals. But with perseverance and determination, you can overcome any obstacle.
