Cock Sparrer has been playing "old man punk" since they were young. I think that's why the music is so timeless. They literally grew into the sound that they had previously created. Hands down one of the best rock bands of all time!
14y/o american skinhead here, this song explains my life entirely. Sad seeing that there are pretty much no more S.H.A.R.P and ANTIFA skins my age. Oi!
Bless Them , if I can put my teen angst and rebellion into a song this is it and will always be , singing in unison with all my friends at those riverbeds and train tracks , love this song
*LYRICS* : Because you're young, sharp as a knife You need that buzz to come alive Out on the edge, out on the town You ain't got time to settle down You're always sure, you're always right You see it all in black and white You never listen to anyone Because you're young Because you're young, you're torn between A world of hate and a world of dreams So much to lose, so much to gain So much to fight for, so much to change You don't look back, you don't look down You gotta turn everything around You live your life like a loaded gun Because you're young Stop talking back, get off the phone You're late again, you missed the last bus home This ain't the way you wanna live I know something's got to give You're always sure, you're always right You see it all in black and white You never listen to anyone Because you're young

Was blessed enough to see these guys tear the roof off at Riot Fest Chicago 2014. They were amazing! They had to be in their 60's but played like they were in their 20's!
I had a therapist show me this song back when I was first learning to play guitar in the 6th grade. I'm 20 and only now had I the curiosity to look for this song I had only heard once.
Una nostalgia enorme, está música, mi adolescencia ahora tengo más de 30 años 😢😢 que buenos tiempos los adolescentes de hoy nunca lo van a entender pura delincuencia
@@therespectedlex9794 I put him off ? Read that back to myself? You have absolutely no idea the context of what my comment means between my son and me and if you have listened to this song then you should at least have some tiny iota as why .. I didn’t put him off anything I was showing him where he was going wrong at that moment in our lives but as you seem to know better you tell me How I’m making my son feel sad and hopeless ? Take your time
@@leemorson2453 @Lee Morson Seems open to interpretation, and I did wonder if I was wrong. Sorry if I don't understand the context and you meant the opposite. But without being specific, unless you want to be, what do you mean 'thought he could be somebody he could never be be'? You must know what I'm getting at.
@@therespectedlex9794 Like you say “Seems open to interpretation” yes it does but with that reply you came to the conclusion that I was somehow holding him back making him feel belittled and it made me bite and I had to fire back It’s just my nature If you had just replied asking me what my quote was implying I might (or might not ) have explained in short the real meaning of it . I bear no malice towards you mate it was just a misunderstanding between us both
I saw these guys standing outside their tour bus in Berkeley California . They were trying to make a deal with pizza hut for lunch and it looked like serious business so as much as I wanted to run up and shake hands i just stood back and watched the exchange in awe.
When I was at the ripe age of 16 -17 and causing a nuisance going up and down the country fighting at stadiums my dad would play this in the car and look at me sideways as a I know what your up to 😂
Sick Man! Yeah, we were on floor back right next to that little bar. We were purple hazing that place up. What a fantasticly beautiful night it was!!! My first time seeing Sparrer and they were superb.
I live in San Diego, but my cousin came thru for my B-Day and bought me a ticket to the show. So, I just had to buy the plane tix to get up there. It was an incredible show!
43 … transitioning between young and old.. if I were to make a video of photos of myself and friends/ family from the past 25 years, this would be the soundtrack
Reminds me of when I was young... this song came out back when I was in high school and in an oi! band. Used to blast this track and album driving to band practice. Memories!
Live your life on your own fucking terms do what you want when you want because life is to fucking short love the people you love tell em everyday do things with em appreciate the time you have with someone or whatever it is... miss you kals love you my brother you fought but cancer took u from us at 25yr we miss u every fucking day my brother this song is for you..
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire....Amen
The past 16 years my husband has played this for me every year on my birthday :)
He's a good husband
That's adorable 😊😊
That's adorable 😊😊
Spanish,48 years old, lived for 8 years in London long time ago and still singing this song every single day!!! Love them !!!!

Curtis Campbell Because we know how true it is, but those it’s meant for, don’t listen, because they’re young !

Beautiful..
Wow, I'm 17 years old, and this song was written for me.
Such amazing lyrics, it humbles me so much.
how is life 7 years later?
How's adult life, my friend? Suck right? Yeah I know...
The best time to be young was way back in the 1980s! I was 13 at the beginning of the 1980s and 23 at the end of that decade!
wow you're 25 now
Wow 9 years later
I never heard of these guys before, then my son introduced them to me and saw them in Chicago at riot fest 20/20 this is now my favorite song
I was at that show as well, We're Coming Back is my favorite
One of those "play this at my funeral" songs. Beautiful lyrics.
JoeStunner fucking same as pal oi
Same feel
For me too, along with Dropkick's "Going Out With Style" and Ignite's "Where I'm From"
@@gkiss2030 "Csak magyarul imádkozott
Vagy káromkodott apám"
:D
The song that explained my existence when I was 15. 20 years ago! Still hits me in all them feels.
I'm just glad 40+ years later,vcock sparrer has people talking / fighting about the shit in their lives. Oi, Oi, Oi....
*LYRICS* :
Because you're young, sharp as a knife
You need that buzz to come alive
Out on the edge, out on the town
You ain't got time to settle down
You're always sure, you're always right
You see it all in black and white
You never listen to anyone
Because you're young
Because you're young, you're torn between
A world of hate and a world of dreams
So much to lose, so much to gain
So much to fight for, so much to change
You don't look back, you don't look down
You gotta turn everything around
You live your life like a loaded gun
Because you're young
Stop talking back, get off the phone
You're late again, you missed the last bus home
This ain't the way you wanna live
I know something's got to give
You're always sure, you're always right
You see it all in black and white
You never listen to anyone
Because you're young
von pikkendorff gracias !!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting the lyrics. Who hasn't felt these feelings? Who cannot relate to this song!? Riddle me THAT!!! ;^)
von pikkendorff fucking nice one mate oi

@@claudinepaquet7832 43 here and getting younger than never. The secret is keeping listening to these favourite tunes.
I don't listen to much punk. I'm more of a classic rock person, but holy fuck, Cock Sparrer kicks ass!
Hell yeah
Punk IS Rock!
Because you're young, sharp as a knife
You need that buzz to come alive
Out on the edge, out on the town
You ain't got time to settle down
You're always sure, you're always right
You see it all in black and white
You never listen to anyone
Because you're young
Because you're young, you're torn between
A world of hate and a world of dreams
So much to lose, so much to gain
So much to fight for, so much to change
You don't look back, you don't look down
You gotta turn everything around
You live your life like a loaded gun
Because you're young
Stop talking back, get off the phone
You're late again, you missed the last bus home
This ain't the way you want to live
I know something's got to give
You're always sure, you're always right
You see it all in black and white
You never listen to anyone
Because you're young

I vaguely remember hearing this song once in middle school. Now almost ten years later I have found it.
Top 5 punk songs ever, probably #1 best kept secret punk anthem.
It's oi

@Definitely a George Soros funded bot well you call him communist but you have anarchy with sickle and hammer so...
Love this song, Fortunately, I'm not young anymore.
Well then, what's it like to be old? I love that song too. Cheers to you and to our youth. Never quite leaves us, even as we age.
🇧🇷 2024 because you're young
I used to drink and use my self into oblivion playing this on repeat.
🍻
One of punk's underrated anthems
não por mim!
Oi's!
Timeless gem. 30 years old but still brilliant and so it will be for the next 30 years 💪🏻
Great song, great band and up there with the best live bands I've ever seen and will carry on seeing hopefully (40 years worth!)
I've been listening to them for almost 20 years and this is one of my go to songs always
You never listen to anyone....because you're YOUNG! Oi!
That was me! Now I’m older and I can appreciate the lyrics even more!
I hung out with these guys in Chicago one year at Riot Fest. They still make punk fun and holding it true to their hearts a legit thing.
23 and I love this song trying to keep punk alive and going
Didn't you know, Punks Not Dead?
Technically it's Oi, not punk. And this album is 30 years old now
I had a therapist show me this song back when I was first learning to play guitar in the 6th grade. I'm 20 and only now had I the curiosity to look for this song I had only heard once.

How I feel when these young people come around with something to prove. It’s cuz you’re young.
Dam this still gets me so amped up ! These guys are so timeless!
This is the song that brings me back to the skinhead days
As a father of a 24 yr old son who thought he could be someone he could never be I played him this and he grasped it.. job done

I have luck to find this at my 17, such beautiful song
One of the best songs ever wrote in the punk/Oi! history. What a epic sensations make me feel when I hear them. Epic sound.
Yeah, they have that real raw punk sound. Really underrated band as they early singed in song "Is anybody there".
Very classic n bringing up all the memory when I was so much younger than today
I’ll be listening to this song when I’m 87
Always brings a tear to my eye

Amazing song , I need to listen more of this band.
