A Streetkid Named Desire
Lyricist:Greg Graffin
Well, it was punk fifteen in the mornin' And it was time to stand my ground And as the gawks and stares bombarded me You know, I didn't even hear a sound
No one gave a damn if I was there or away If I died and went to hell they'd throw a party On my grave and they'd all say 'This kid is just a fool, he'll never be cool'
They might as well just ship him off To some other school, plain destitute Just a little too guilty Just a little too soon
But that day was just like any other day No work and no pay I knew that paradise was some other place And I'd get there another day I will find it before I expire 'Cause I've got the desire
Well, it was punk fifteen in the evenin' And it was time to set the town on fire I saw my boots and my hair as reflected in the mirror Reveal a street kid named, Desire
I didn't give a damn because I was just dyin' to be And as the Hollywood street scene left it's mark on me I changed from a boy into a man Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I said, 'Never again'
I stuck out my chin when I should have ran Shit in the fan I was driven so hard By the sound of my heart
But that day was just like any other day No work and no pay I knew that paradise was some other place And I'd get there another day I will find it before I expire 'Cause I've got the desire
When the walls surround in deeper shades of blue And there's no voice of reason inside you And you search for meaning on an empty shelf Then you're always dreamin' of somewhere else
Today is just like any other day No fear, no restraint I know that paradise is some other place And I will get there another day
You can come with me no conditions or fares Somehow, somewhere I will find it before I expire 'Cause I've got the desire Let's go
