Had money in my pocket

But he had a gun

How was I to know

That I was a lucky one?

You got me through this Time

But my time will come

When things get wild

I'll get out from underneath the gun

 

You're retired at 21

Your mind is gone

Your race is run

You're retired at 21

You side with the law

And the man with the gun

 

Lookin' for a thrill

But it just ain't that easy

'Cause when you move in for the kill

Got to get sleazy

The bait'll come off the wild(?)

Before we crawl all over you

We've both got power

And at(?) you'll don't know what I'll do

 

Money Money Money

'll buy you food into my brain

But your heart can't even breathe

'Cause your soul's already claimed

Collecting a scrapbook

Proud of what you've done

No more pushing

Retired at 21

 

You're retired at 21

Your mind is gone

Your race is run

You're retired at 21

You side with the law

And the man with the gun

 

crapshoot crapshoot

Don't know what you'll find there

Don't want no one

To catch you in a dare

Your life story is complete

The clock has got you beat

You look at life

Then you turn and retreat

 

You're retired at 21

Your mind is gone

Your race is run

You're retired at 21

You side with the law

And the man with the gun
