We were just a bunch of kids hanging out in 10 park
Everyday after school we’d hang out till well after dark
All kinds of drugs could be had on any day
If you had no cash, no prob, when you could, you’d pay
We avoided needles, but if it got you high, why not
My friends and I would give nearly anything a shot
Ah, We was Young ~ Stupid ~ and ~ Fearless ~ In the Seventies…
My buddies and I was a real wild bunch
Post Hippie Hitters, ready to throw down on a hunch
Junior High memories of bye-gone days
All clouded in a post drug induced haze
And the bus to Rockaway Playland ~ the rides and the shore
Always on the lookout for bad girls, trouble and more
Yah, We was Young ~ Stupid ~ and ~ Fearless ~ In the Seventies…
Two or three generations ~ Sold a bill of goods that anything goes
A bunch of bullshit to turn off your mind, to enjoy a pose
The re-wind button’s broken, and good riddance to all that
I don’t do much reminiscing ~ Not proud of all that’s under my hat
But I’m trying to ride into my sunset with my head held high
And I’ll be dammed if my kids don’t know better than I…
Yeah, We were Young ~ Stupid ~ and ~ Fearless ~ In the Seventies…
I love it!
