18 years old and you know it all

you're feeling like your life's up against the wall

nobody ever gave nothing to you

time to pack your bags, do what you've gotta do

catch the first train out of this town

fuck off to all those who put me down

no money in my pocket, but that's all right

im out in the  town in the city tonight...



[Chorus: (x2)]

this is my life

i've never listened to you

never seemed to get the message through

just to bad that you never could see

now im gonna live my life my life just for me



met up with the wrong kids in the town

out all night, just hangin' around

mom and dad a thousand miles away

drunk and high all night and day

got busted one night for selling a fix

big price to pay for getting your kicks

now you don't even know who you are

and what you once knew

seems oh so far...
