Teenage Wildlife

Well, how come you only want tomorrow?
With its promise of something hard to do
A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
Blue skies above and sun on your arms, strengthen your stride
And hope in those squeaky clean eyes (squeaky clean eyes)
You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go
Blinded with desire (with desire), I guess the season is on

So y'all train by shadow-boxing, search for the truth
But it's all, but it's all used up
Break opens your million dollar weapon
And push your luck, still you push, still you push your luck
A broken nosed mogul, are you one of the new wave boys?

Same old thing in brand-new drag comes sweeping into view, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
As ugly as a teenage millionaire pretending it's a whiz kid world
You'll take me aside and say
"Well, David, what shall I do? They wait for me in the hallway"
I'll say, "Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways"
But they move in numbers, and they've got me in a corner
I feel like a group of one, no, no, they can't do this to me
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)

Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes
The world is that hunted, one is out there on his own (out there on his own)
And you're alone for maybe the last time
And your breath for a long time
Then you howl like a wolf in a trap, and you daren't look behind

You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree
And look up one time at that vast blue sky
Scream out aloud as they shoot you down
No, no, I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
(I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)

And no one will have seen and no one will confess
The fingerprints will prove that you couldn't pass the test
There'll be others on the line filing past, who'll whisper low
I miss you, he really had to go well each to his own
He was another piece of teenage wildlife, oh, oh-oh-oh
Another piece of teenage wildlife, (another piece of teenage wild) oh, oh-oh-oh

(Wild, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
(Wild, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
(Wild, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
(Wild, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
(Wild, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
(Wild, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)
