Born a Wise Man Lyrics

The band mentioned when they played this song live in the Maida Vale studio on The Punk Rock Show on BBC Radio 1 that it's about the beginnings of their band. How they started out and all.

It makes sense and I interpret it as also being about staying true to those original beliefs as well as thoughts and feelings you have as a teenager. Not forgetting that punk mentality when you grow up both in the sense of "being an adult and getting a serious job" as well as the fact that they probably could have made their music more radio friendly to earn them more money. My two cents.
