This song is also a New Elders song.

lyrics

when i start to lose my head
a steady hand will take its turn
to ease my mind as we take a step back
just to let it burn

we try to leave the bags behind but they're always catching up
we feel the weight of each new year
but here's to us all for another one down
this one's for all of you here

because we're all so good
but don't you dare die young
there's life in our years and so much to come.

they say we are an army but this army not destruct
we just watch each other's backs for when shit runs amuck
remember the words we shared from late night to early morning
we'll come and we will go, we need no warning

because you're all so good
but don't you dare die young
with life in our years and so much to come.

Here's to all the rascal kings
the anchor ends of all these things
to you i say "my kingdom for a beer"
ill toast to you time and again
you heroes or just hooligans,
well that part's never clear
