We Were Kids


We were kids,
who never wanted to do our homework.
We were kids,
who broke into abandoned places.
We were kids,
who stole alcohol from the grocery store.
We were kids,
who never wanted to grow old.
We were kids,
who hung out in parking lots at midnight.
We were kids,
who sneaked out to see that special someone.
We were kids,
who weren't afraid to lose it all; reckless.
We were kids,
who broke into cars.
We were kids,
who stayed on the beach past curfew.
We were kids,
who ditched school to watch movies or smoke from a pipe.
We were kids,
who fought over the opposite sex.
We were kids,
with scars and bruises.
We were kids,
who loved to loiter.
We were kids,
who made police officers laugh to avoid juvy.
We were kids,
who didn't know what we wanted as a career.
We were kids,
who saved up for punk shows.
We were kids,
who did not always feel the love of our parents.
We were kids with death wishes galore.

Some of us never made it,
Others did.
Rebellious children of the earth,
You can pour me another one,
As I remember when
We were kids.
