Sixteen Again

16 years old, what fun we had, a life without problems, just acting mad
All day long being the beast in school, just hanging around, just acting cool
And every night I met my friends, playing records of our favourite bands
A couple of sixpacks and off we went to a party or to the pubs on the weekend

Drinking beer and chasing girls, we felt like we could win the entire world
When our parents went out, we played with the band
We were so cool, we had it all in hand

Fight at school and with mum and dad, being bored and being bad
16 years old, pissed and proud, but we didn't know what life was all about

58 years old and look at us now, not getting better, just going down
Drinking scotch and watching TV, is this the we, we wanted to be?
There are no wild parties anymore, is this what we've all been fighting for?
No way out, doing the best we can.

Oh god, how I wish I were 16 again
