Bad Religion - A Street Kid Named Desire Lyrics

Well, it was punk-fifteen in the morning 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 allsay
This kid is just a fool, he'll never be cool
They might as well to 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 'cuz I've got the desire

Well, it was punk-fifteen in the evening and it was time to set the town
On fire
I saw my boots and my hair, as reflected in the mirror, reveal a streetkid
Named desire
I didn't give a damn because I was just dying to be
And as the Hollywood street scene left its mark on me I changed from a
Boy into a man
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 'cuz 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 dreaming 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, 'cuz I've got the desire
