I’m, I’m not under age
I know that i’m ready now ‘cos my attitude is changed
You’re not fighting fair when you’re pulling my hair
you’re pushing to higher ground and you don’t even care
I’ve noticed that  Everyone’s changed but I’m done

I’ve got nowhere to run
you’re 2 against 1
I’d like to turn around
you’re 2 against 1
I’ve got nowhere to run
you’re 2 against 1
I’d like to turn around
 Take cover now

I, I’ve got no excuse,
not giving me anything but I still have to choose
I know that I’m young but I’m all out of fun
I’m tying my shoes again ‘cos I might have to run
I’ve noticed that  Everyone’s changed but I’m done 
I’ve got nowhere to run
you’re 2 against 1
I’d like to turn around
you’re 2 against 1
I’ve got nowhere to run
you’re 2 against 1
I’d like to turn around
you’re 2 against 1 
Everyone’s changed but I’m,
everyone’s changed but I’m,
everyone’s changed but I’m done

These days I'm bad to the bone
I’m really a Beatles man but you dig the Stones
I’ve got guts and noone interrupts 
I’m digging the compliments but you don’t have to push

I’ve noticed that everyone’s changed but I’m done
 I’ve got nowhere to run
you’re 2 against 1
I’d like to turn around
you’re 2 against 1
I’ve got nowhere to run
you’re 2 against 1
I’d like to turn around
You’re 2 against 1
You’re 3 against 1
You’re 5 against 1
 I’ve got nowhere to run
I’ve got nowhere to run 
You’re 2 against 1


2 Against 1

Forget ‘bout Me
 Picked me up when I was stumbling from Grand Hotel
cold but beautiful you could see that I wasn’t well
Just a hopeless case, 3 am friday night
what a wonderful surprise

My chances here are overrated 
I want to get up and leave
Don’t want to make things complicated,
forget ‘bout me
Somebody sent a supernova
to share my love for the night
You want to change the way I dress but
I want to change your life

Why’d you want to be like everybody else
I would rather be rejected as myself
Now I can’t help but think your brain has been televised 
when you’re looking so surprised

My chances here are overrated 
I want to get up and leave
Don’t want to make things complicated,
forget ‘bout me
Somebody sent a supernova
to share my love for the night
You want to change the way I dress but
I want to change your life

My chances here are overrated 
I want to get up and leave
Don’t want to make things complicated,
forget ‘bout me
Somebody sent a supernova
to share my love for the night
You want to change the way I dress but
I want to change your life


Forget 'bout Me

I know a boy who
goes by the name of Valentino
He is just the best guy
and so good looking and latino

All I had was the best time I remember
fooling ‘round and meeting all new members
In case that you forgot
his name was Valentino

Summer left us to soon
and as he said, it went rapido
He went back to his school
and I was stuck with my libido

All I had was the best time I remember 
walking hand in hand until September
I’ll never forget his face
his name was Valentino

Speculating ain’t enough for me
so I found a lady, settled by the sea

I knew a boy who
went by the name of Valentino
He was just the best guy
and so good looking and latino

All I had was the best time I remember 
walking hand in hand until September
Never forget his name,
his name was Valentino

I know a boy who goes by the name of Valentino

Valentino

How can I be what they want me to be  when standing in the Vestibule
Everybody’s working, pointlessness surrounds me
this is where I’ll lose my youth

Don’t you talk to me, no
‘cos human robots make no sense
I’m an eighties kid, yeah
got a temper feeling tense

(Just give it up, just give it up)
Don’t you speak to me, no
(Just give it up, just give it up) Because you’re rich on my expense 
(Just give it up, just give it up) Oh yes I’m giving up  (just give it up, just give it up) ‘cos my opinions stand no chance (Just give it up, just give it)
 I’m gonna die young

I can not be what they want me to be  when standing in the Vestibule
Everybody’s working, pointlessness surrounds me
this is where you’ll lose your youth
 I’ve been working machines since I turned seventeen, yeah
Walking through the Vestibule
if they see me slacking,
they’ll show me no compassion
They lost it where I lost my youth

And a friend of mine,
he took a shortcut with his belt
Guess that happiness ain’t
guaranteed even with wealth (just give it up, just give it up) 
But Mr. CEO (just give it up, just give it up)
He doesn’t care to give you help
(Just give it up, just give it up) Oh, but Danny boy
I know exactly how you felt (Just give it up, just give it)

I want to die young too

How can I be what they want me to be  when standing in the Vestibule
Everybody’s working, pointlessness surrounds me
this is where you’ll lose your youth 
I’ve been working machines
since I turned seventeen, yeah
Walking through the Vestibule
If they see me slacking
they’ll show me no compassion
They lost it where I lost my youth

How can we be what they want us to be 
when dragging through the Vestibule Everybody’s working, pointlessness surrounds us
this is where we’ll lose our youth

And the midnight shift
is never short enough
So kill me clean and swift
or keep starring at the clock

White shirted CEO (Just give it up, just give it up)
Living up there, we’re down below (Just give it up, just give it up)
There’s nothing we can do, no, no (Just give it up, just give it up)
The shirt on my back is blue
(Just give it up, just give it up)


Vestibule

There's a knife fight at the supermarket
 I can see it from my own apartment
 Young man sitting on the curb and bleeding  
and beside him stands his mother screaming  
Don't you turn your back on me 
There’s no patience on my street 
the police keep telling me 
Please step back, back away and would you please calm down there’s no patience on my street
 I'm a motherfucking hustler, baby 
from the part of town that’s dark and scary 
Where alcoholics beat their women daily 
and you wonder why I'm not too friendly  
Don't you turn your back on me (Don’t you turn your back on) Don’t you turn your back on me
 There’s no patience on my street
 the police keep telling me
 Please step back, back away and would you please calm down there’s no patience on my street 
They tried to wash the blood away 
 I tell you they failed okay ’cos it was there the next day
 I said they tried to wash the blood away 
I tell you they failed okay ’cos it was there the next day  
I said they tried to wash the blood away 
I told you they failed okay ’cos it was there the next day 
There’s no patience on my street 
the police is…. 
Please step back, back away and would you please calm down                        there’s no patience on my street
