We Were Young Lyrics

[Intro/Verse 1: Cheap Sober]
Back when we were young
Little mongrels stupid dumb cunts
Getting blind drunk under the sun
Running from the dirty police for running a muck
It was fun, jiggin school and shop lifting
Pissing on things thinking of hot bitches
Parents were telling us to stop drinking
Not thinking, just kept grog sinking
Walking streets overnight
Riding on my best-mates motorbike
Off tap from boos and smoking pipes
All the girls hated that cheap sober guy

[Verse 2: Willis]
Yeah, living a bogan life
Our slogan; fighting, roam sites on coke and ice
Fucking choke eyes messing with our mode at night
Eroding minds, my hope died overtime
These blokes eyes were only focused on quick bucks
And piss sluts we'd chuck a bit of dope for a quick suck
(Hook us up a blowy for a twenty love)
We were drunks at 16, chillin with a bunch of piss fiends

[Chorus: Cheap Sober, *Willis*]
When we were young, it was all about binge drinking
Vandalism sluts and cheap drugs
When we were young, it was about fuck all
We did what we wanted we robbed the drug store
*When we were young, It was all about binge drinking*
*Vandalism sluts and cheap drugs*
*When we were young, it was about fuck all*
*We did what we wanted we robbed the drug store*

[Verse 3: Willis]
When I was young I thought my luck was just shabby
Was pushing any fucking drug that I could stuff in a satty
I'd roam zones and carry clubs like a caddy
I'd smoke cones cause I never had the bud for a fatty
I made my mind sick with one that was chatty
She was a little lying bitch that just hung like a ratty
I loved beef and on a hunger for patties
Man I just had grudge see hate under my [hatty?]
I've never seen a life funded by daddy
I never had a free life like when you run from a cabby
(wait a minute)
Dead broke and my clothes were all tatty
A dreg bloke meth smokin like it's only just baccy
Living dirty like the home of a packy
And always in the same shirts; always roaming in trackies
I saw god as a teen when a sawn-off
Was forced down my gob for bags of weed and just 4 rocks

[Chorus: Cheap Sober, *Willis*]
When we were young, it was all about binge drinking
Vandalism sluts and cheap drugs
When we were young, it was about fuck all
We did what we wanted we robbed the drug store
*When we were young, It was all about binge drinking*
*Vandalism sluts and cheap drugs*
*When we were young, it was about fuck all*
*We did what we wanted we robbed the drug store*

[Verse 4: Cheap Sober]
When we were young, at the age of 16
I was drinking JD and Jim Beam
Every single little bitch was a dick tease
I was getting pretty sick of this scene
Stark having big dreams of chicks licking my dick with whip cream
Listening to bitch please
It seemed my mid-teen schemes were extreme
With big risk of shit slipping at quick speed
Very shifty indeed I was dumb
But you don't exactly think when you're young
I wanted some cash so I sold some drugs
All to pay some cheap hooker to suck on my nuts
A proper dumb slut she didn't for ID
Smile on my face as I'm zipping up my jeans
The other kids in my team hadn't seen what I've seen
I think they wanted to be just like me

[Chorus: Cheap Sober, *Willis*]
When we were young, it was all about binge drinking
Vandalism sluts and cheap drugs
When we were young, it was about fuck all
We did what we wanted we robbed the drug store
*When we were young, It was all about binge drinking*
*Vandalism sluts and cheap drugs*
*When we were young, it was about fuck all*
*We did what we wanted we robbed the drug store*

[Outro: Cheap Sober]
When we were young
When we were young
We were dumb
We were stupid
But it was fun
Willis, Cheap Sober
