Ash - Teenage Wildlife lyrics

Well, how come you only want tomorrow
With it's promise of something hard to do
A real life adventure
Worth more than pieces of gold

Blue skies above and sun on your arms
Strength in your stride and hope
In those squeaky clean eyes
(squeaky clean eyes)
You'll get chilly receptions
Everywhere you go blinded with desire
I guess the season is on

So you trade by shadow boxing
And search for the truth
But, it's all, but it's all used up
Break open 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 ooh
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
And I feel like a group of one, no no
They can't do this to me
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
Oh oh oh oh
(Oh, I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife)

Those midwives to history put
On their bloody robes
And the word is that the hunted one
Is out there on his own and you're alone
For maybe the last time
And you breathe 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
Oh oh oh oh I'm not
A piece of teenage wildlife oh oh oh oh
(Oh, I'm not a 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
Oh oh oh oh, another piece of teenage wild
Wild wild wild

(Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife)
(Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife)
(Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife)
(Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife)
(Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife)
(Oh, another piece of teenage wildlife)
