Thinking back to my world when I was young I was a boy simple and true I always dreamed that my life would one day change I was a boy who wanted to fool the world Now I'm living fast and I'm not looking back And my crime is overdriving I've weeded I've cheated I know I've mistreated my mind Now it's time for harder days Harder days Looking back on my painful youth We were boys oh what could we do? Broke knuckles bleed In our eyes we hide the pain We were the boys who sought to rule the world Now I'm living fast and I'm not looking back And my crime is overdriving I've weeded I've cheated I know I've mistreated my mind Now it's time for harder days Harder days We were young Where did those lost years go? We were young Where did our innocence go? A violent youth couldn't last forever So where did those lost years go Your violent youth couldn't last forever Where did those lost years go? Now I'm living fast and I'm not looking back And my crime is overdriving I've weeded I've cheated I know I've mistreated my mind Now it's time for harder days Harder days
