Replacements, The - Bastards Of Young 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
The daughters and the sons
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
Elvis in the ground, no waitin' on 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
Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no war 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
Daughters and the sons
Young
Young
Young
Young
Young
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours

Replacements, The Bastards Of Young Comments
Kurt Cobain brought me here. Thanks mate.
Not hating on "Where Is My Mind", but this should have been Fight Club's theme.
I love these b/w speaker/turntable videos they did. It's funny that they did them like this to complete an obligation to the record company but compared to the videos at the time they are soooooo much better.
Butthead: Ehheheheheh heheh, tweeter...
Why kick a perfect good speaker. That's not punk just stupid.
Weird remix it's almost too clean...
you piece of shit back then
Fair bit of rumble going through the woofer on that upside down speaker! Classic song. Timeless.
The Replacements are the best band in the world. 🤘
Best at MAX volume lol! Love how the Bass carries the tune and beat.
Too realistic.
The punkest video. Ever. Watch a turntable. Simple as Pi. Just listen to the goddamn music. It speaks for itself.
Point taken.
Best video ever made.
The fact that I had to go back and edit, proves that I'm a tiny bit buzzed
Alvin and the ‘mats
GG Allin had more talent in his micropenis than these talentless clowns have in their entire bodies.
The replacements and this sort of music makes me nostalgic about the 80s even though I was born in 1997
Wow his voice reminds me a little of Kurt Cobain's
I miss the Consequence of Sound Masterpiece review of this.
Fellow Joy Divison fan :D... good on you :)
@Castrated Hey, fellow Nirvana fan
Wow, amazing video. You can tell they spent a lot of money and time making it. It's so well done!
that's embarrassing video. it should've been shown the other ways
great video.
My anthem in 2013 : The Enemy - We'll Live and Die In These Towns
2019: The Replacements - Bastards of Young.
Fun fact: The Enemy have a song called 'Be Somebody' which, until now, I had no idea it was a rip off to this song by The Replacements. Is this that "God works in mysterious ways" trite crap that people always seem to say lol? Mad!
Play this song at my funeral. Top tune this, just hook it! 💉💉💉
Had it played at my dads. 10/10 would recommend this funeral music
@m s Sorry to hear that. There's no but, but I am glad you did that for him. Here there's no such thing as "funeral song" but I suppose I'd like to let people know I liked a certain song, so they remember me because of it. Kinda like your theme tune.
i remember went this video came out , it was like the best song with the worst video , some live footage of them would have been many times better.
to think this could've been the jackass theme song
Rock n roll
When was this video made?
I love a video that let's me read the comments without missing anything
❤ 🌎 ✌️
A generational story set to song. Love Paul's lyrics.
Best North American band right now. This song makes me want to listen to the Exploding Hearts right after...
quero uma festa que toque replacements
best video ever and extra money for beer
this video is perfect.... where are my menthols?
Can't belive the most popular band of 80s were bon jovi when there were bands like replacements, guided by voices. Bon Jovi was a band with cheesy lyrics. These guys were the real deal.
People are retarded I guess!
replacements actually related to the youth's problems in the 1980s, Bon Jovi were a bunch of yuppie cocksuckers mocking all the rejected youth
Reminds me of my dad's apartment after the separation. Milk crates and cinder blocks for end tables and a coffee table.
Still a favorite! Swoon so good.
its sped up
Can you imagine if this was the Jackass theme instead of Corona?
Played on an out-of-pitch (sped up) turntable, that continues playing the next cut, Lay It Down Clown, after the speaker has been smashed. :) In other words, Greatest Video Ever!
Turk varmi Türk
What's the song in the end of the video?
My place was furnished with milk crates too in 1985. If only Paul's girlfriend had let us come to the party with Bob.
Love the milk crate.
maybe the best song, best video ever made. at least it feels that way to me right now.
Like si vienes por Old is cool de VH1.
This band is so underrated!
Almost the jackass theme and I see why. Kickass song
Gran canción 😊🤘
This is cool I just knew the Jesse Malin version!!
Bastard children of the world unite!!
Great song, brilliant video, absurdly underrated band.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds strikingly similar to New Order's "Love Vigilantes"?
Anyone else prefer the track at this speed? 🤗
Damn I need to break out my old viynl
This is beautiful but when I first heard this I really thought it was some kick ass Bruce Springsteen song I'd never heard of.
You can rate me down if you please.
I was born in 96 with Springsteen parents, so I ask give me a break.
no break required - I love Bruce and The Replacements.
you can tell your folks that Paul Westerberg is the Springsteen of indie rock.
Nah a lot of the same vibes. I loved The Pixes and Jesus and Mary Chain and all that stuff as a kid in the 90's, but the Mats were talking about the real deal, loser, drunk dead American Dream.
I love how the song after it on the album Lay it Down Clown is playing at the end
That scream tho
Legend level music video
Video looks like it was made for about twenty bucks or so!
Perfection.
Cool story. I was wondering how far down the replies I would have to go to see the standard, "The Replacements suck" comment. The over/under was five.
Unwillingness to claim us got no Word to name us
Great Song! Great Band!
punk mentality love it
this is definitely an acceptable alternative jackass theme song oh shit
This audio is sped up?
https://youtu.be/XN7Ugq41ww8
This is too fast. Does not sound right.
Crap. It should not have been posted. It is ridiculous.
Masked intruder brought me here :)
Imagine almost 200 sad people put thumbs down on this magic
turntable speed/pitch is off. this is too fast.
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
Now the daughters and the sons
Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no war to name us
The ones, love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones, 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
Daughters and the sons
Young, young, young, young
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Take it, it's yours
Son Of A Bitch of old
needs to be LOUDER!!!!
great song
This songs sounds more like a 90s song rather than a 80s song... The Replacements we're ahead of there time.
Was nearly the Jackass theme tune according to Johnny Knoxville
Achin to be music video
Is this sped up?
My friend Jeff died two days ago. He loved this record as do I. We talked about it many times. RIP Jeff Wall.
Pure greed.
For Curt. Sorry about your pal Tony.
Huh. I thought, this whole time, he was saying "take it slower, take it slower"
You know, cuz everybody plays fast at the end lol never mind 🤓
Hottest legs of all time.
Jamie t Covered this and I honestly think it's one of the best covers of all time
Jackass
I came here from First we Feast. According to Johnny Knoxville this was almost the theme song for Jackass
Willingness to claim us. They've got no wars to name us.
No shit! That's awesome
I'm happy they went with the Minutemen. Best punk band ever (Replacements were great too, no disrespect)
I'm glad he went with the Minutemen. Best Punk band ever!
The hot one special guest Johnny Knoxville brought me here
Back in the day, Johnny Knoxville submitted this as the theme song for "Jackass" to the group. But it wasn't to be.
Best music video ever!!!
In another world, this is the theme to Jackass. Johnny Knoxville submitted this song along with Corona by The Minutemen for the theme, and everyone seemed to like Corona, so they went with that. Check out the hot sauce interview here, and listen at 17:18 on the timestamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Od-IMIGjfg
Johnny Knoxville's favorite theme song for the Jackass Series.
I appreciate they had chosen Corona
This was almost the Jackass Theme song...weird.
came here cuz of hot ones, anyone else?
fun fact. this is one of the songs Johnny Knoxville submitted for the jackass theme
Here because Knoxville said this was originally going to be the Jackass theme song, but they chose Corona by Minutemen instead.
Hot Ones brought me here
2018 anyone?
Johnny Knoxville on Hot Ones brought me here.
This was almost the Jackass Show theme song. Jackass picked Corona by The Minutemen instead -
Long live the mats
