Never Were Songtext
von Worriers

Used to spend my days as a kid reading
Books that put wild thoughts in my head.
Parents wouldn′t let me work so I could get
Good grades, make a life for myself, and move away.
We could give our bodies for social protest
And not give a damn about the future consequences.
Speak for yourself on your own two feet.
When you've got kids and rent, then come and see me.

I keep reminding myself I make mistakes all the time.
Holding to higher standards, unreachable lines.
Here′s to promises we try to keep.


I'd like to take back some things that were said.
It's hard to see things through when you′ve got the upper hand.
Hindsight seems like a poor excuse for
Being bored and angry with nothing to lose.
Learning there′s more than violence to radical politics.
How I became a twenty-something anarcho-feminist.
Shut it behind you when you walk out that door.
Keep reminding yourself, "if you're not now, you never were."

I keep reminding myself I make mistakes all the time.
Holding to higher standards, unreachable lines.
Here′s to promises we try to keep.

Used to spend my days as a kid reading
Books that put wild thoughts in my head.
Parents wouldn't let me work so I could get
Good grades, make a life for myself, and move away.
