A Streetkid Named Desire Bad Religion

[Verse 1]
Well, it was punk-fifteen in the morning
And it was time to stand my ground
And as the gawks and stares bombarded me
You know, I didn't even hear a sound
No one gave a damn if I was there or away
If I died and went to hell, they'd throw a party on my grave
And they'd all say "This kid is just a fool
He'll never be cool
They might as well just ship him off to some other school"
Plain destitute
Just a little too guilty, just a little too soon

[Chorus]
But that day was just like any other day
No work, and no play
I knew that paradise was some other place
And I'd get there another day
I will find it before I expire
'Cause I've got the desire

[Verse 2]
Well, it was punk-fifteen in the evening
And it was time to set the town on fire
I saw my boots and my hair, as reflected in the mirror
Reveal a streetkid named Desire
I didn't give a damn because I was just dying to be
And as the Hollywood street scene left its mark on me
I changed from a boy into a man
I said, "Never again!"
I stuck out my chin when I should have ran
Shit hit the fan
I was driven so hard by the sound of my heart
