Young Offender

Lyrics for Young Offender

You may be broke now and you may be bored Call you delinquent or leave you ignored You'll get what you want Drive to distraction and crash on the way Watch your reaction and wait 'til you say You'll get what you want It hurts if you can't Young offender What's your defence? You're younger than me, obviously Young offender Why the pretence? You don't agree, I know, I know I'll do what you want if you want me enough I'll put down my book and start falling in love Or isn't that done? How graceful your movements, how bitter your scorn I've been a teenager since before you were born And I'm younger than some I've only begun Young offender What's your defence? You're younger than me, obviously Will I get in your way Or open your eyes? Who will give whom The bigger surprise? Is that fire in your eyes or the glow of machines? Watch how your fingers burn over the keys So sure what you do I haven't a clue Young offender What's your defence? You're younger than me, obviously Young offenderhow you resent The lovers you need It hurts when they bleed Young offender Why the pretence? You don't agree, I know, I know Young offender, why the pretense? You don't agree, I know, I know
