What it is
"Bastards of Young" is a song by The Replacements from their 1985 album Tim, released on Sire Records. Paul Westerberg wrote it and revised the lyrics over several drafts. The song deals with alienation and not knowing where you belong. Westerberg has said it reflects his sister Mary, who left Minneapolis for New York to pursue acting, and the band's own sense of being out of place.
