Let's be honest, we're all criminals here so take the halo down 

Autograph hunters making legends out of scumbags from a better town 

21 at midnight, it's a curse of a man who'd kill to put it off 

Wrestling grizzly bears just to draw a crowd 

a crowd that would have jumped at dogs 



When you're 21 at midnight you act like a man 

look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then 

21 at midnight 

your tombstone in hand 

you fight so hard to give away for free what you'll just want again 



a virtual who's-who of the who-cares, the self appointed king and queen 

Better off jester rather tame the troops than fertilize the village green 

hey I knew you back in 1999, I know you don't forget 

Obligations plague you still why can't you shed em yet? 



When you're 21 at midnight you act like a man 

look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then 

21 at midnight 

your tombstone in hand 

you fight so hard to give away for free what you'll just want again 

you'll just want again 



And on this night in a border town 

you'll wave goodbye to your father's son 

And on this night in a drunken brawl 

you'll say hello to your poor child's father 

who's 21 at midnight 



He thinks he's a man 

look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then 

21 at midnight 

your tombstone in hand 

you fight so hard to give away for free what you will just want again 

what you will just want again
