We Were Young Once Lyrics by Pat the Bunny

Probably Nothing, Possibly Everything

2014

It was back in community college
It must have been a writing class
And he said something about
How we need the cops to protect us
And I snapped
"Protect us,"
Like the night when you got kidnapped by the pigs
They tore up the house on their way out
So when Scott got home
He'd worry you got taken by somebody worse
I played the show that night
Although my blood was fire in my mouth
Until he walked into the room--still free
At least for now
[Chorus]
And we were young once
And sang songs about not giving a fuck
Acting like we had some guts
Well, how about now?
It was at a show someplace
Really, it could have been almost anywhere
Someone kept yelling to stop playing politics
Cause no one care's
And it's a game
Like the time the U.S. marshals came for you
Before the sun was up
Guns drawn for breakfast
"Open up this door before we kick it down."
[Chorus]
And we were young once
And sang songs about not giving a fuck
Acting like we had some guts
Well, how about now?
And we were young once
And sang songs about not giving a fuck
Acting like we had some guts
Well, how about now?
How about now?
How about now?
