Before I was here I felt so free
I didn't care what the future held for me
There was no unemployment
No school work
No deadlines
Life was just a piece of artwork
Before school, I was on my way
Enjoying life more every day
Now life's a cycle
Each week is a repeat
But if I leave
I'll end up on the street
Being young, being young
That's where we all came from
Being able to chill all day long
Being young, being young
That's what we all look back on
Gotta have fun cuz soon it'll all be gone
My best friends were the sun and the sky
I made pictures with the clouds as they passed by
The smell of freedom was in the air
Not a care in the world while I'm laying there
Let's play beach ball out on the sand
I'm riding on a jet ski, hold my hand
There's so much to do in the summer holidays
The best time of the year were people's birthdays
Being young, being young
That's where we all came from
Being able to chill all day long
Being young, being young
That's what we all look back on
Gotta have fun cuz soon it'll all be gone
We're stuck in a system that drains us
Gotta wake up early so I don't miss the bus
School starts at 9 but your brain isn't engaged
If you don't like the system then you might as well be in a cage
Exams are what your youth is for
If you don't pass you'll end up in a book store
Don't grow up to be sat at a desk
Take the opportunity to make your life its best
Being young, being young
That's where we all came from
Being able to chill all day long
Being young, being young
That's what we all look back on
Gotta have fun cuz soon it'll all be gone
Being young, being young
That's where we all came from
Being able to chill all day long
Being young, being young
That's what we all look back on
Gotta have fun cuz soon it'll all be gone
