lyrics

First Verse:

Feeling no stress from his latest stretch
Jeff steps in his house without a smile
'Cause he knows there’s not much time left
Till he’s back inside and no one will bat an eye
Would probably not be any different
If his life could have rewind

He was just another typical kid
In school the rigid and stiff
Rules would give him the shits
And lead to his persistent questioning of the system and if
It’s a relevant fit for every kid till a teacher got pissed
Then in an instant snapped:
"Shut your little trap
Go sit at the back with the
Other ignorant brats!"
And later in detention Miss Fraser announces this:
“Sorry to say it son but you won’t amount to shit.”
So he’s fighting back the tears
Sharpens up a pencil then his thigh is slashed and pierced
Walking in the rain madness in his ears
His Dad who was s’posed to get him once again has disappeared
And he found solace with the others
Who’d been given up on to they’re like his brothers
Throw a fondness for drugs into the mix,
Schemes to get rich quick and you'll see why he’s not bothered…


Hook/Chorus (x2):

Look at the kids they’re always acting up
Ever thought the reason why is back to front?
Look at the kids they’re always mad as fuck!
Ever thought the reason why is back to front?


Second Verse:

Things looked so much better for Michelle
Middle class with two loving parents there as well
Till she fell in love living became hell
The neighbor who was eighteen took her virginity, she was age twelve
Picture the scene as she watched
The man that she love struck down landed in cuffs
Now she’s branded a slut
In school she ends up sleeping around and up the duff
And she hammers the drugs
The pain it goes away but the kids keep adding up
It isn’t the fact each kid has a different dad which is unpleasant
But it’s just like at Christmas time there isn’t one present
She tries quitting the pipe
But each time it rewinds to the scene of the crime
His parents yelling out “slut do you know what you’ve done?!
It’s all your fault we’ve lost our only son!”

Hook/Chorus
