I was born on a light-skinned road
I was born with an engineer's gold
I did better than most
Now I live on a dark-skinned road
The collectors call they try to take my gold
I'm happier than most
The streets are never clean
My friends they help preserve my innocence
We shared our cigarettes
At the window we placed our bets
They wouldn't call our names
Tickets hide our shame
So we laughed through glossy eyes
Surely the gods would recognize
Our good intentions, we showed them
The sweat covered our skin
We aged a decade in an hour
We gave away our innocence
So let these simple songs get caught in our heads
Brace the frames of our worthless beds
All my life never gave a f**
Someone please wake me up
So let these simple songs get caught in our heads
Brace the frames of our worthless beds
All my life never gave a f**
Someone please wake me up
