Groupe : The Replacements
Titre : Bastards Of Young
Album : Tim
Année : 1885
Peu connu du grand public, The Replacements a été influencé par des groupes tels que les Clash, les Ramones ou encore les Rolling Stones. Ces américains possèdent pourtant un répertoire de grande qualité. Bastards Of Young est un très bon exemple du savoir-faire du groupe. The Replacements se démarque par la voix singulière du chanteur, Paul Westerberg, et ses compositions sombres et mélodiques.
Lyrics :
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
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, there'll ain't no 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
Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no word to name us
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
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 take it, it's yours
