Misspent Youth

I have no fear of where I've been

The people I've crossed or what I've seen

It's all part of life's learning curve

It don't make me better if a lesson's learnt

Don't tell me where I've gone wrong

The knocks I've had have made me strong

Some day it will come to an end

But until that happens I'll do it again

In a house of ill repute

In a bar loaded up with booze

Always drunk and destitute

It's the years of a misspent youth

There's always time for one last drink

Then a second last one without a think

I'll always be an angry young man

Shouting the odds and kicking trash cans

Yesterday has been and gone

And tomorrow can wait until morning dawns

Today is all that I live for

And if it's my last thought there's no encore

In a house of ill repute

In a bar loaded up with booze

Always drunk and destitute

It's the years of a misspent youth

In a house of ill repute

In a bar loaded up with booze

Always drunk and destitute

It's the years of a misspent youth

I don't care what history says

I'm only young once and I live it my way

Some will get hurt at every turn

But consequences ain't my concern

Live my day living for the night

And keep on going while I stay upright

No one knows when it will end

But as I said, I'll do it again

In a house of ill repute

In a bar loaded up with booze

Always drunk and destitute

It's the years of a misspent youth
