When I Was Young - The Oppressed

When I was younger, so much younger than today

I lost my liberty for causing an affray

But now I’m older and much wiser than before

I’ve done my time and I ain’t going back for more

When I was young…

Just punks on alcohol, I drunk too much again

My mindless violence was the cause of all their pain

There’s no excuses for the damage that I done

It could’ve gone too far, I could’ve killed someone

And now I realise, the errors of my youth

I’ve left that life behind coz now I know the truth

My eyes are open now and I will only fight

If I can justify that what I do is right
