Lyrics

They must have had the whole thing planned There must have been a hundred If we make a stand I think we'll be outnumbered If I'd had the chance then I could understand Why I'm a juvenile delinquent in an East End gang And if you think you've seen gasoline Burning in my eyes Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be It's good to be alive, oh Just another street kid on your tail Running on the wrong side of the rails With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town Those street kids making news just being around I've been bottled and been brained squealers can't be trusted If we fight tonight you can bet we'll all be busted I'd like to break away from the rut I'm in But beggars can't be choosers, yeah and I was born to sin And if you think you've seen gasoline Burning in my eyes Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be It's good to be alive, oh Just another street kid on your tail Running on the wrong side of the rails With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town Those street kids making news just being around Hey for the street kids making news just being around Let's hear it for the street kids making news just being around Let's hear it for the street kids And if you think you've seen gasoline Burning in my eyes Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be It's good to be alive, oh Just another street kid making news just being around Just another street kid, just another street kid Just another street kid making news just being around Just another street kid, just another street kid Just another street kid making news just being around Street kid, street kid Making news just being around Street kid, street kid Making news just being around Street kid, street kid Making news just being around Street kid, street kid Street kid, street kid Street kid, street kid Street kid, street kid Making news just being around Just another street kid, just another street kid Just another street kid making news just being around Street kid, street kid Street kid, street kid
