Kids Like Us

Hang down your head Maria and let your long hair down There's nothing left undamaged on the streets of your hometown The blood red sun has scorched the fields from here to Arkansas And it's time to cut and run or face the long arm of the law Let's ride out to the mountains Kick in the cabin door Tear ourselves to pieces On a blanket on the floor They tore down the lights smashed all the bells Flooded the mines and poisoned the wells If we stay here we've only got ourselves to blame I wanna shed my skin forget my name Crash like a fighter plane Hold you close enough to break my bones and feel the pain I wanna roar through the night like a runaway train There's a wind that shakes the treetops and shakes the billboards too It's blowing down the highway and it blows through me and you I don't have to tell you what becomes of kids like us We're young enough to run away we're old enough to rust Let's ride out to the mountains Kick in the cabin door Tear ourselves to pieces On a blanket on the floor They tore down the lights smashed all the bells Flooded the mines and poisoned the wells If we stay here we've only got ourselves to blame I wanna shed my skin forget my name Crash like a fighter plane Hold you close enough to break my bones and feel the pain I wanna roar through the night like a runaway train
