Bad Religion - A Streetkid Named Desire Lyrics
Well, it was punk-fifteen in the morningAnd it was time to stand my groundAnd as the gawks and stares bombarded meYou know, I didnt even hear a soundNo one gave a damnIf I was there or awayIf I died and went to hell,Theyd throw a party on my graveAnd theyd all sayThis kid is just a fool, hell never be coolThey might as well just ship him offTo some other schoolPlain destituteJust a little too guilty, just a little too soonThat day was just like any other dayNo work, and no payI knew that paradise was some other placeAnd Id get there another dayI will find it before I expirecuz Ive got the desireWell, it was punk-fifteen in the eveningAnd it was time to set the town on fireI saw my boots and my hairAs reflected in the mirrorReveal a streetkid named desireI didnt give a damnBecause I was just dying to beAnd as the hollywood street sceneLeft its mark on meI changed from a boy into a manI said never again!I stuck out my chin when I should have ranShit in the fanI was driven so hardBy the sound of my heartBut that day was just like any other dayNo work, and no payI knew that paradise was some other placeAnd Id get there another dayI will find it before I expirecuz Ive got the desireWhen the walls surroundIn deeper shades of blueAnd theres no voice of reason inside youAnd you search for meaningOn an empty shelfThen youre always dreamingOf somewhere elseToday is just like any other dayNo fear, no restraintI know that paradise is some other placeAnd I will get there another dayYou can come with me,No conditions or faresSomehow, somewhere,I will find it before I expire,cuz Ive got the desire
