Teenage Wildlife

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, how come you only want tomorrow With its promise of something hard to do A real life adventure Worth more than pieces of gold [Pre-Chorus] Blue skies above and sun on your arms Strength in your stride and hope In those squeaky clean eyes (squeaky clean eyes) You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go Blinded with desire I guess the season is on [Verse 2] So you trade by shadow boxing and search for the truth But it's all, but it's all used up Break open your million dollar weapon and push your luck Still you push, still you push your luck A broken nosed mogul are you One of the new wave boys [Pre-Chorus] Same old thing in brand new drag Comes sweeping into view, oh ooh As ugly as a teenage millionaire Pretending it's a whiz kid world You'll take me aside And say [Chorus] "Well David, what shall I do? They wait for me in the hallway" I'll say, "Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways" But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner And I feel like a group of one, no no They can't do this to me I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife Oh oh oh oh (Oh I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife) [Bridge] Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes And the word is that the hunted one is out there on his own And you're alone For maybe the last time And you breathe for a long time Then you howl like a wolf in a trap And you daren't look behind You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree And look up one time at that vast blue sky Scream out aloud as they shoot you down No no, I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife Oh oh oh oh I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife Oh oh oh oh (Oh I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife) [Instrumental] [Chorus] And no one will have seen and no one will confess The fingerprints will prove that you couldn't pass the test There'll be others on the line filing past who'll whisper low "I miss you, he really had to go" Well each to his own, he was another piece of teenage wildlife Oh oh oh oh, another piece of teenage wildlife Oh oh oh oh, another piece of teenage wild Wild Wild Wild [Outro] (Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife) (Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife) (Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife) (Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife) (Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife) (Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife)
