Bad Religion - A Streetkid Named Desire - The New America video free download

Well, it was punk-fifteen in the morning and it was time to stand my ground

And as the gawks and stares bombarded me 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 pay

I knew that paradise was some other place and I'd get there another day

I will find it before I expire 'cuz I've got the desire

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 in the fan

I was driven so hard by the sound of my heart

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

When the walls surround in deeper shades of blue and there's no voice of

reason inside you

And you search for meaning on an empty shelf

Then you're always dreaming of somewhere else

(Chorus)

Today is just like any other day

No fear, no restraint

I know that paradise is some other place and I will get there another day

You can come with me, no conditions or fares

Somehow, somewhere

I will find it before I expire, 'cuz I've got the desire
