When You're Young (And You Don't Know Nothing)

When you're young and you don't know nothing
 Life is in the back of a van
 Wondering who's getting what from whoever else
 And wondering if you can
 Wasting your time in some goddam school
 Everybody's pushin' and shovining
 Running 'round angry most of the time
 Cause you're young and you don't know nothing.
 Running 'round angry most of the time
 Cause you're young and you don't know nothing.
 When you're young and you don't know nothing
 Everything's locked behind doors
 Like your daddy's afraid that you might find out
 What he really married mama for
 Screaming about responsibility
 While you're just trying to get some lovin'
 One more fight brings you down tonight
 Cause you're young and you don't know nothing
 One more fight brings you down tonight
 Cause you're young and you don't know nothing
 When you're young and you don't know nothing
 You laugh but it ain't too funny
 They try to sell you clothes and rock and roll shows
 You got no rights except for spending your money
 You get sick of being criticized
 And all the advice they try to stuff in
 Just a chip on your shoulder
 And nowhere to go
 When you're young and you don't know nothing
 Just a chip on your shoulder
 And nowhere to go
 When you're young and you don't know nothing
