Bastards Of Young Lyrics - Glitter In The Gutter - Jesse Malin

God, what a mess, on the ladder of success 

Take a first step and miss the whole first rung 

Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled 

It beats pickin' cotton and 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 beer tonight 

Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function 

It beats pickin' cotton and 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 

Willingness to claim us 

You got no word to name us 

One's who love us best are the one's we'll lay to rest 

Visit their graves on holidays at best 

One's who love us least, are the one's we'll die to please 

If its any consolation, I don't begin to understand 

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 

Young, young, young
