Lyrics

Every picture has its shadows
And it has some sources of light
Blindness
Blindness and sadness
FRANK: Did anyone see you there? Did anyone see your license plate?
JIM: I don't know, I don't know
CAROL: What about the other boys? Do you think they'll go to the police?
JIM: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...
CAROL: Why should you be the only one involved?
FRANK: Well, far be it from me to tell you what to do...
CAROL: Are you going to preach? Do we have to listen to a sermon now?
FRANK: Well, I'm only trying to tell him what you mean! You can't be an idealist all your life, Jim! Nobody thanks you for sticking your neck out!
JIM: Except for yourself!
FRANK: Wait a minute!
JIM: Except for yourself
Compelled by prescribed standards
Are our own ideals we fight
For wrong
W rong and right
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, I'm not a juvenile delinquent
