bad religion - streetkid named desire lyrics

[verse 1]
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 d-mn if i was there or away
if i died and went to h-ll, 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 dest-tute
just a little too guilty, just a little too soon

[chorus]
that day was just like any other day
no work, and no play
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

[verse 2]
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 d-mn 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
sh-t in the fan
i was driven so hard by the sound of my heart

[chorus]

[bridge]
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

[chorus]
today is just like any other day
no fear, no restraint
i know that paradise is some other place
and i’ll 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!)
