Oppressed When I Was Young Lyrics

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I lost my liberty for causing an affray.
But now I'm older and much wiser than before,
I've done my time and I ain't going back for more.

[Chorus:]
When I was young...

Just punks on alcohol, I drunk too much again.
My mindless violence was the cause of all their pain There's no excuses for the damage that I done,
It could've gone too far, I could've killed someone.

And now I realise, the errors of my youth,
I've left that life behind coz now I know the truth,
My eyes are open now and I will only fight,
If I can justify that what I do is right.
