Elton John - Street Kids lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album rock of the westies<br><br>They must have had the whole thing planned<br>There must have been a hundred<br>If we make a stand<br>I think we'll be outnumbered<br>If I'd had the chance<br>Then I could understand<br>Why I'm a juvenile delinquent<br>In an east end gang<br><br>And if you think you've seen gasoline burning in my eyes<br>Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be, it's good to be alive<br><br>It's just another street kid on your tail<br>Running on the wrong side of the rails<br>With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs<br>You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town<br>Those street kids making news just being around<br><br>I've been bottled and been brained<br>Squealers can't be trusted<br>If we fight tonight<br>You can bet we'll all be busted<br>I'd like to break away<br>From the rut I'm in<br>But beggars can't be choosers<br>And I was born to sin<br><br>Let's hear it for the street kids<br>Making news just being around
