Social Distortion - The Way Things Were

Social Distortion

[@creative326]

This is truly an awesome song, the lyrics hit so hard from a S.D fan from the old days, and getting older I feel the ever word. Thanks S.D

[@patrickschuler8824]

i cant wait no longer for the new album. i want to hear this great song as a studio version

[@tpistol6913]

It’s criminal that Social Distortion is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Ever since I seen Social Distortion open up for the Ramones decades ago, I have been a big fan. Seen them live so many times and they never let you down. The lyrics are the icing on the cake. Mike's lyrics can give you a visual of his life and many times our own lives. Long Live Social D!

i dont know...i know times are tuff but i saw these guys and the Rev, about 30 yrs ago for $15. i am not paying 150.00. no doubt Mike and the boys were a Huge part of my life(56). but its time i stood aside and let the younger ones enjoy. anyhow. their music, however will play on eternity through my speakers

[@billya9521]

I like It seeing Johnny 2 Bags playing Lead Guitar on this Song 😁👍

[@dreams4reality591]

One of the last true authentic heartfelt writers his music is always touching and real. Love you Mike ness you've helped through some hard times

[@PhillipMoore-td5yi]

I love how each album feals different and I think this was one of my favorites.

[@denischlapek]

Love and passion, Mike is a living legend

[@artiomsings8763]

I was at their show in Warsaw last Sunday. What can I say? That was the best show I ever been to. That feeling when you listen to a band for like half of your entire life, and now you finally see them live. Damn, I will never forget those moments.

[@Livemusic1800]

@@artiomsings8763 definitely can relate. Been a fan since years. When saw them live for the first time was super stoked 🤟🏼👌🏼 🎼

[@scotthayes1210]

Ness is a poet, his lyrics resonate with the everyday man and woman! Social distortion is an amazing band

[@creative326]

Awesome song, feels like the old days

[@mountain7777]

Killer tune! Can't wait til the new album comes out!

[@colororange2006]

God bless you Social D. You have been such a great influence on my life.

[@markpage5567]

Love this song. I can easily see this as being one of their staple songs and hearing it on the radio all the time. Got tix for this summers concert at Hampton Beach and I can't wait!

[@mrjc12]

[@silent-trouble]

Probably my favorite of the new songs that i heard. Really catchy.

[@creative326]

This is it they just brought me back to the feeling when I first heard story of my life. Mike you just gave that song that I'll play over and over

[@diddyfaplord]

Said it once and I’ll say it again, I can’t wait for this fucking song to be recorded and released. The new album will be well worth the wait

[@pogolehun2566]

I really love the perfect guitar solo 🥰

[@slownews6220]

Amazing to witness the evolution of Mike Ness. He is still improving. I'm 34 years old but Social D is my favourite band by far. Privilege to have seen him in Zurich this year.

[@Livemusic1800]

Awesome. Social d rocks. Can't wait to see them live again in December.

[@alistairfinlay2772]

[@artiomsings8763]

Can anyone get the lyrics? I'm not a native speaker, so I get like 70% of what Mike is singing. I am in love with this vocal line and I want to play and sing it, but I can't do it properly 😔 Please, help 🙏🙏🙏

[@silent-trouble]

I think it is very hard to get, too. he's mumbling words a lot (I assume lyrics are not finished anyway) and not a native speaker, too but here is what I get, maybe it fills some gaps... throwing rocks at trains on our railroad tracks? Dead end kids who slip beneath the cracks We spent our time getting high We did our best to get by And we say goodbye to the way things were No one said that life would be so hard I plan out my escape with an old guitar? I wrote a song to ???? if you aint got a song you aint got shit and to ? say goodbye to the way things were CHORUS: Sometimes i think of when we were young we .... ?? Sometimes i wish our life/the clock? would just stand still Let the fire ?? begin and we watch it all burn down again And we say goodbye to the way things were Sometimes i think of when we were young we .... ?? I wanna go back to a simpler place and time As the night falls we shed a tear Watching freedoms disappear And we say goodbye to the way things were Verse: ?????????????????? I didnt know how fortunate (that?) I was ???? to let go until it's time to leave this world and say goodbye to the way things were Sometimes i think of when we were young we .... ?? Why do all good things come to an end ??? was just yesterday Watching all ? drink the pain away? And we say goodbye to the way things were
