Bastards of Young

[Intro]

Ohhh!

[Verse 1]

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 and waitin' to be forgotten"

[Chorus]

Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young

Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young

The daughters and the sons

[Verse 2]

Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom

Elvis in the ground, no way he'll be here tonight

Income tax deduction, one hell of a function

"It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten"

[Chorus]

Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young

Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young

Now the daughters and the sons

[Bridge]

Unwillingness to claim us

Ya got no warrant to name us

[Verse 3]

The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest

And visit their graves on holidays at best

The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please

"If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them"

[Chorus]

Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young

Wait on the sons of no one, bastards of young

Daughters and the sons

[Outro]

Young

Of young

Young

Young

(Young)

Take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours

Take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours

Take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours, take it, it's yours
