[Spoken Quote - Robert Sheehan as Nathan from Misfits] "She's got you thinkin' this is how you're supposed to be... Well its not! We're young! We're supposed to drink too much. We're supposed to have bad attitudes and shag each other's brains out. We are designed to party. This is it. Yeah, so a few of us will overdose or go mental... We had it all. We fucked up bigger and better than any generation that came before us. WE WERE SO BEAUTIFUL!! You're wearing cardigans!" We started so young, our direction unknown Wе just fell and we rose with thе tides Light-years from perfect and destined to fail But it sure was a hell of a ride It all seemed so rad Drugs and booze on the tracks 'til a friend turned up dead or in jail Then after a while it got harder to smile Once we realized we were living in hell [Bridge] For Days 'n Daze we ran place to place to dull the hate and pain But now the weights been lifted cause we're circling the drain [Chorus] Wasted years, photo albums buried under tons of beers I remember when we thought we were invincible Kings of the road, but now we're growin' old and slowin' down In the beginning it was all so exciting When we still had so much left to learn We'd not yet been jaded, our senses unfaded When we still had hope left for the world Still fairly unfamiliar with tragedy and armed with a propensity For making the best out of bad But our dispositions far more dismal nowadays Because somewhere along the way We forgot about all the good times that we've had [Bridge] For Days 'n Daze we ran place to place to dull the hate and pain But now the weights been lifted cause we're circling the drain [Chorus] Wasted years, photo albums buried under tons of beers I remember when we thought we were invincible Kings of the road, but now we're growin' old and slowin' down If I could turn back time, rewind the clocks to yesteryear I'd do it all the same 'cause all the missteps got me here I've learned my lessons, paid my dues The future's now, no time to lose What's next is anybody's guess and I can't wait to find out Wasted years, photo albums buried under tons of beers I remember when we thought we were invincible Kings of the road, but now we're growin' old and slowin' down Wasted years, photo albums buried under tons of beers I remember when we thought we were invincible Kings of the road, but now we're growin' old and slowin' down Wasted years, photo albums buried under tons of beers I remember when we thought we were invincible Kings of the road, but now we're growin' old and slowin' down Now it's time to pass along the crown Dress me up and drop me in the ground!!
