------------------------------ Social Distortion - Story Of My Life [lyrics] Genre: Alternative Rock - Punk Rock Year: 1990 Album: Social Distortion (1990) ------------------------------
“Ya good times come and good times go, I only wish the good times would last a little longer and I think about the good times we had and why they had to end” That line hits differently
Story of My Life, which was released in 1990, is an awesome fucking song. So many of us can relate to it. It is timeless. I quit (was expelled) from high school the day that I turned 17 years old. They sent a letter in the mail, which I intercepted. There were times when I applied for a job everywhere, but could not get hired anywhere. I just did not fit what they were looking for. Life goes by so fast. And, you only want to do what you think is right. Close your eyes and it's past.
Being a young punk in the 90s brought me here. Lol alot of good times i can't remember all that well but it was the greatest time of my life. Cheers too all the good times y'all!
Was 15 when this came out and was my first time hearing SD. I was big into punk like misfits and Sex Pistols and such, so when I heard this I was like wtf?!? So fell in love with a whole new sound and type of punk. Mike Ness writes, plays, and sings with some much heart.
I was 28 when this album came out from my It was a shock as Mommy’s Little Monster was issued independently and this their namesake album was issued on a major label. Punk rock on a major label, who would have thought? Loved the refinements and the exposure they got, but I also love the fact they later went independent and focused on being a touring band. The pressure of a commercial commitment can force one to turn out so so music, while staying independent has allowed Mike Ness to flourish.
A bunch of kids take something we did in 1990 and make it some bubble gum pop crap....story of my life....I think the song speaks for its self. The fact that the band is still touring gives me some hope that not all kids fall for 1D Keep punk alive!!
" I only wish the good times would last a little longer. And I think about the good times had and why they had to end". Played this over and over the day my Dad passed away. 😢
After over 12 years later since my high school years this song only makes more sense especially when hearing it once in a good while late night stoping by my old high school remembering the good and the bad times too just for the brief time machine of it. Big props to social distortion for this old skool and tour on!
why are you all saying "this version is better than one direction's" they version has nothing to be with this one, theirs is not even a cover of this, it's got the same name and thats all lol so stfu
Not to hijack a video, but why the fuck do people keep saying One Direction's Story of My Life is a cover of Social D's Story of My Life? Literally, the one and only thing that's similar is the title. The beat, the lyrics, the chords, no part of either song has anything to do with each other.
Well, I'm almost 15 and I love rock music as well as some other genres, like metal, hip-hop or classical music and a huge part of my friends listen to similar music. :)
I must be some goddamn anomaly. 38 years at this point and I still don't think life goes by so fast. I find time to move rather slow, or rather it moves precisely in the time it needs to. Can't relate to that part. Only part I can relate to is having a lot of experience but never any relevant experience, never getting any job really, bad school experiences and constant daydreams. Despite this, I am just powerless to change the trajectory of my life because society made sure of that.
Most of my favorite songs come from guitar hero 3 meh friends laugh at me Bc I said that and I’m like 11 :3 I love this kind of music ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ best in my opinion guitar hero will always be in my heart ❤️
I don't usually comment on CZcams videos, But this song goes through your soul when you can't ever find a girlfriend in your life & you see everyone else in a relationship & talking about sex. Straight sadness. 😞🔫
What does it matter if you're a teenager? Once you find good music you will come to love it just as much as a guy from the 90's did. (or whatever decade this song came out)
jo91982334 Only the teenage girls of this generation love 1D and what's mainstream with singers and boybands. A lot of teenage guys are rockers, maybe even the majority of teenage guys like rock music. Nobody today assumes every teenager today likes 1D, that's bullshit.
One Direction using the title "Story of my Life" is not that big of a deal. It's not like it's a complicated or thoughtful title. It's literally just a saying. It's like when Selena Gomez made a song called "Hit the Lights" and Metallica fans freaked the fuck out. IT'S A SAYING! I know 1D sucks and are generic pop trash, but it still isn't a big deal. 1D probably doesn't even know who Social Distortion is in their protected little pop world.
I know 1D(ick) Has a song with the same title but its BORING and stupid I mean this song (why do i keep typing 'dong'?) Is amazing and fun to sing along to
“Ya good times come and good times go, I only wish the good times would last a little longer and I think about the good times we had and why they had to end”

Saddest punk song ever. Sometimes it's hard to listen to this while drinking alone. Just too close to home.
Too close for comfort.
@@josephyard7328 Can be paired well with a shot or two of 'southern comfort' I suppose. 🥃
Especially by your high school
aww sweetheart ..you are not alone. weve all been there.
@@nvlovale626 would be paired better by having a special friend with you to “toast” with! ~cheers! 🥳💜
"Laaaa laaaa la-la-la - Laaaa la-la-la-la-la".
Speaks to me on so many levels.
Timeless lyrics!

It's amazing how this song has influenced the same demographic (17-23) for the last 20 years.
I'm 60
I'm 60
Shit, im 25 lol
Im 20
I'm not 80
Most relatable post high school song
This song felt so much longer when I played it on Guitar Hero.
Right! I was just playing legends of rock earlier thinking “when will this end” 😂
This song hits hard when u are older.
Damn straight dude
Being a young punk in the 90s brought me here. Lol alot of good times i can't remember all that well but it was the greatest time of my life.
Cheers too all the good times y'all!
Heard this on Guitar Hero: Legends of Rock and loved it! Thank you, Guitar Hero! ^^
Still the same after 8 years
🙄
Its sad that when i search story of my life in google , nothing else comes but direction crap.
Yeah thems the ropes.
+Gaurav Panta Same here. I love this song. Screw One Direction
// ikr this was the song my dad will play when I was younger

Lmfao .... Agree
Guitar Hero 3 brought me here.
same
Jessie Roebuck lmfaoooo same use to kick ass on this track good ol guitar hero
Same
Jessie Roebuck yes that game is best

back in 2010 my dad would play this song on his guitar when me and my brother would go to bed, i was 3 years old then, this is extremely nostalgic
As a father of 3, you got me all choked up and I am now a 68 YO fart. Big fan since 1985.

Regardless of where people heard the song, the band is still getting publicity and therefore interest.
This is actually extremely relevant. I'm gonna graduate from high school a week from this Saturday
im guessing you graduate tomorrow
+Davey Roberson im guessing you graduated few weeks ago
+Oscar Garcia yup
I'm guessing you graduated 8 months ago
I'm guessing you graduated 18 months ago... That's a long time...
in Gh3 my old score 155,551 expert now 231,467 :O
What is it now?
I'm 22 and listening to this again, I feel so old
Same here, I am 22 years too
I'm 48, but age bracket is 17- 27
I’m 13 and I’m listening to this
Now you are 24 same like me. Cheers!
Now Im 22 and listening to this, same feeling bro
People say that Social Distortion stole the song from 1D.... lol
+Andrew Gyongyosi lmao this song was around before any of them were even conceived
nigga no one said that
Fishnugget25 Swagmaster This is a peaceful comment, no swearing allowed.
Fuck 1d and all their mothers
This song came before 1D
I only just now realized how relatable this song is to me.
Didn’t notice when I was shredding on Guitar Hero 3 all those years ago.
social distortion is by far one of the best punk bands ever
Yo i never understood the lyrics when i was playing guitar hero but hearing them now, It fits exactly with my life at this moment lmao

@Leov dude, i posted this shit 4yrs ago
When the nostalgia hits so hard that you start to cry.
Everytime I hear this song.
Same bro 😭😭😭
thanks for the 12 second unnecessary silence at the beginning, really ties the song together
Guitar Hero III brought me here.
same. Aced it 100 percent all the way up to expert. took me hella long time. practiced the song like 20 times just to get used to it.
+Outlaw Michigan Bullsh*t
James Buckner OK mate
Jeremy Smith same here bro
Get ready for the "Then you're not a real fan of the music" comments..
A bunch of kids take something we did in 1990 and make it some bubble gum pop crap....story of my life....I think the song speaks for its self. The fact that the band is still touring gives me some hope that not all kids fall for 1D Keep punk alive!!
mcraike37 im 9 but I prefer socal distortion's cover
S A N T I A G O this is not a cover...
Life goes by so fast, You only want to do what you think is right. Close your eyes and its passed, Story of my life.
Most relatable Social Distortion song ever.
I’m STILL playing this song on Guitar Hero 3 IN 2020
2024 here
" I only wish the good times would last a little longer. And I think about the good times had and why they had to end".
Played this over and over the day my Dad passed away. 😢
Where has this gem been my whole life? 😭🤘🔥🔥
Haven't heard this in AGES.
Great music that only exsist in the old days brought me here.
I always loved this song. brings back good and bad memories
Mike Ness speaks the realr the REAL it is, thats that. Great success!
i have been listening to social d for 32 years, I am 54

I can definitely identify with this
this song should've gotten more publicity
It's weird, this song always makes me cry, but in a good way.
I was at Safeway and this song was playing and I really jammed to it so I looked it up and it’s now my favorite song!!
This reminds me of 50s music
If You Were a Teenager Living in the 90s, THIS WAS YOUR STORY!!!
Love this song :)
2020!!
Thank you
why are you all saying "this version is better than one direction's" they version has nothing to be with this one, theirs is not even a cover of this, it's got the same name and thats all lol so stfu
Because it is better. Way better. one direction doesn't come close to topping Social D. Fangirl elsewhere pls
u cute
u cute
true.
Fuck off Vanessa.

Anyone who says that is probably just looking for some attention, don't give it to them
no one fucking cares
What an amazing song.
Awsome!
I grew up in those parts of Fullerton around that time. Definitely relatable.
2020! I love it!!!
It's almost impossible to find another kid that listens to good music. I think I'm the only one.;(
Im 14 so and i listen to this.
I'm 12.
Well, I'm almost 15 and I love rock music as well as some other genres, like metal, hip-hop or classical music and a huge part of my friends listen to similar music. :)
13 years and I love 90's music and punk rock
I’m 15 I listen to this kind of stuff
I like this song...I feel him
2021! I'm still listening to this song !!
It isn't my most favourite song but it relates to me in so many ways and that is why i love it. x
88
Best pop punk ever
THIS IS AMAZING
cool story bro
This song is my Life in Guitar Hero III. I love this
half perfect
My grandkids love this song....Im officially old..
Good job Sir, they will have nice taste im music.
I don't see one direction on Guitar Hero. Just sayin.
XD
FUCK ONE DIRECTION
@@the_ultimate_brony2409 why?
@@X.ChristianoBangnaldo.X there music sucks
Nope not for me it doesn't but I don't want to start a fight
Classics... Good times guitar hero in PS2!!! The lyrics of this song is so me hahaha
My badass memory of this song brought me here
Seems like just yesterday, I walked into high school for the first time. Now I'm gr11. Where did the time go?
I feel that way..and I just turned 37. Close your eyes and its past.
I’m sitting in a dark room by myself listening to songs my dad used to play
I must be some goddamn anomaly. 38 years at this point and I still don't think life goes by so fast. I find time to move rather slow, or rather it moves precisely in the time it needs to.

I just want to start Blues Brothers dancing to this song every time.
RESPECT. Same here. :D Except I heard it on a really old tape... xD
I don't know why people think one direction killed this song 1D song is nothing like this song just the same title
Most of my favorite songs come from guitar hero 3 meh friends laugh at me Bc I said that and I’m like 11 :3 I love this kind of music ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ best in my opinion guitar hero will always be in my heart ❤️

True
Basically the story of every troubled teen's broken home life
Who wrote my life story before I did
great song,, amazing??/?/?/
Was trying to find this song, didn't know the name of the artist, fucking shame on our species that I kept coming across that one direction guff
I can relate to this song with my life
I don't care about the One Direction version. I may be a teenager but this is miles better than their crap.
Right
that's for sure
What does it matter if you're a teenager? Once you find good music you will come to love it just as much as a guy from the 90's did. (or whatever decade this song came out)
rockinrodney5000 It's not the fact that I'm a teenager just that people presume that because I am one that I'll love One Direction.

what's one d tho?
+Bernard Monette Just a random boysband :P
+Bernard Monette Picture 5 slightly less douchy, British Justin Biebers
Did you just put Social D , Selena Gomez, and Metallica in the same sentence or comparing their music?
jaggededges I put them in the same sentence, but I didn't compare anything except song titles. Step up your reading, fam.
My mum told me to look this up and I'm fucking amazed there's just something about finding old punk bands
This is the story of my life
I was there too!!:D
Foda ! ;)
siempre será como un himno este tema en Buenos Aires hay mucha gente que los espera gracias Mike y su banda mueven el sentimiento gracias
