Kids Will Be Kids

When I was a kid, with everything I did

I can't believe that I'm alive and not six feet under ground

Cuz when I was a child I was living on the wild

and I can't believe that I'm still around

Let the kids make up their minds and do what they do best

walk along the streets of broken hearts and lonelyness

crimson eyes define the pain that words cannot explain

tears will fall like rain

Kids are gonna fuck it up and learn from their mistake

and if I had a buck a time a fortune I could make

we can all pretend that we were not the same

but afterall this life is just a game

-Chorus-

When I was a kid, with everything I did

I can't believe that I'm alive and not six feet under ground

Cuz when I was a child I was living on the wild

and I can't believe that I'm still around

I was only 17 and skippin' out of school

authority would treat me like an adolescent fool

lips are meant for kissin' ass and breakin' down the wall

to rise above it all

-Chorus-

I can see the parents as their children walk the line

I've heard the voice of repremand and now I'm doin' fine

I'd love to say I told you so like you once said to me

and we will be together in the end

as long as there's redemption to defend

-Chorus-
