ONLY 21


We grew up together 
We saw it all we thought we had it made
But how was I gonna know 
That the bond we had would soon begin to fade

The times we spent the fun we had 
Are the memories that just turned bad
But that's the price we pay for being young

We roamed the streets of every town 
We almost had the country on its knees
But mass acceptance dragged you down 
We were a problem overcome with ease

But unlike as we thought was right 
We went down without a fight
And we let them grind us into the ground

The years have gone behind us 
The things we've said and done
It's strange to be nostalgic 
When you're only 21

There came a time when you were gone, 
When everything you stood for disappeared
And now I look at the shadow left 
And I doubt if you will reappear

'Cos you've left a legacy of clones 
Of broken minds in broken homes
And it looks like I've become a memory
