When you were young you walked Down the streets With your short haircut and your scraped-up knees You were a power-hungry terror with a gun in your hand And the leader of the gang would never lead you astray When you were caught and all you Heard was screams There was still one more that your mother didn't see You were smokin' and cursin' and just havin' a laugh And you used to throw rocks at the railroad tracks (chorus) No no, you can't play here Kids with your boots on, you'd better beware No no, you can't play here So watch out sonny have fun down there No no, you can't play here Kids with your boots on, you'd better beware One two three four! Everyone said that school was a Drag But that's where we learned to pledge allegiance to the flag Yeah you're never to young to be proud of your land And your grandfather told you how it was in the past When the gang got into a fight There were bloody noses and lots of black eyes You stick together until the end cos in the end we have nothin' but our friends (chorus) x2
