Bastards Of Young Tab

by Replacements


                                
God what a mess, on the ladder of success
                                              
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
                        
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
                                         
It beats pickin' cotton or waitin' to be forgotten

                           
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
                           
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
                      
The daughters and the sons

                                
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
                                         
Elvis in the ground, waitin' on a beer tonight
                                
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
                                        
It beats pickin' cotton or waitin' to be forgotten


                           
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
                           
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
                      
The daughters and the sons

( for 2 bars)

                          
Unwillingness to claim us, got no warrant to name us

(Solo)

                                          
The ones love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
                                    
And visit their graves on holidays at best
                                            
The ones love us least are the ones we'll die to please
                                                     ( Let ring)
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them

                           
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
                           
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
                           
The daughters and the sons
