Gillmor - Kids Will Be Kids lyrics

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 f** 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' a** 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-
