Elton John - Street Kids lyrics

They must've had the whole thing planned
There must have been a hundred
If we make a stand
I think we'll be outnumbered
If I'd had the chance
Then I could understand
Why I'm a juvenile delinquent
In an east end gang

And if you think you've seen gasoline
Burning in my eyes
Don't be alarmed, and tell yourself
It's good to be, it's good to be alive

It's just another street kid on your tail
Running on the wrong side of the rails
With my boot lace tie and my hand-me downs
You know I run the toughest
Bunch this side of town
Those street kids making news
Just being around

I've been bottled and been brained
Squealers can't be trusted
Ooh, if we fight tonight
You can bet we'll all be busted
I'd like to break away from the rut I'm in
But beggars can't be choosers
Yeah, and I was born to sin

And if you think you've seen gasoline
Burning in my eyes
Don't be alarmed, and tell yourself
It's good to be, it's good to be alive

It's just another street kid on your tail
Running on the wrong side of the rails
With my boot lace tie and my hand-me downs
You know I run the toughest
Bunch this side of town
Those street kids making news
Just being around

Let's hear it for the street kids
Making news just being around
Let's hear it for the street kids
Making news just being around
Let's hear it for the street kids

And if you think you've seen gasoline
Burning in my eyes
Don't be alarmed, and tell yourself
It's good to be, it's good to be alive

Just another street kid making
News just being around
Just another street kid
Just another street kid
Just another street kid making
News just being around
Just another street kid
Just another street kid
Just another street kid making
News just being around street kid
Street kid making news just being around
Street kid street kid
Street kid making news just being around
Street kid street kid
Street kid making news just being around
Just another street kid
Just another street kid
Just another street kid making
News just being around
Making news just being around
