Diamond Child

I was born, misbehaved

Having smoked up my propriety

Who needs it anyway?

I use it like the blunt side of a blade

Blunt side of a blade

Well there's nothing left that's same

But who am I to complain

Yeah I'll torch your book of ways

And wipe my arse with the remains

With the remains...

I'll never be your diamond child

Don't wait on me

I'll never be your diamond child

So what do you do

When you're only sixteen

And life stares you in the face

And says, what you gunna be?

What you gunna be?

You're dressed to the nines

And bored to the teeth

With your first class living

Where something means nothing to me

Nothing to me

I'll never be your diamond child

Don't wait on me

I'll never be your diamond child

They got you on your knees

You're begging

You're waiting for self control

They say they got control of you

But you know that that ain't true

You're waiting to shine

Like the others shine

Well you can wait here the rest of your life

You'll never shine like the others shine

I'll never be your diamond child
