Youthful Indiscretions
Jill Sobule
George was at the party in the bathroom with a mirror
Making lines for all the frat boys, all fucked up on German beer
Driving on his way home, he saw the red lights flash
The cop gave him a warning, said "Say hi to your dad"
Twenty-two years later, just across the tracks
Is another boy named George on the corner selling crack
Walking on his way home, he saw the red lights spin
The cop pushed him against the car and bashed his head in
Youthful indiscretions
We all make mistakes
We grow and learn life's lessons
Youthful indiscretions
George went on to college, continued on his way
Still got high and stinking drunk and very average grades
Then he saw a bright light; he said that it was God
I think it was his father and a fancy job
Now back to our other George, who's sitting in a cell
In the company of murderers and rapists bound for hell
And when I light a big fat joint, I thank the Lord up high
That I was born bleach-blonde and white
Youthful indiscretions
We all make mistakes
We grow and learn life's lessons
Youthful indiscretions
