You Am I - A Nervous Kid lyrics

A little freckled wonder a BMX riding bandit
Chucked a cigarette in passing, yeah
Called me a faggot

My skinny little hands to find something
I was angry full of beans
Essentially just a n-n-n-n-nervous kid

It was the year of care for kids
They even made a campaign song
They used to sing it as I entered the room
Before light switched on
Just In case my lone obductor
Was to spark a message within
I was eager to learn full of sunburn
Essentially just a n-n-n-n-nervous kid

So I made a pact with the silence
If you get me out of this one
I'll be true to what I was born
To do and be a Roustabout, roustabout
Yeah a Roustabout

It was the year of gettin' loose
It was the year that my head broke
Clueless and free in the ACT
My mind buckled it's spokes

Was like a hummingbird
I cried til it returned
I want to drag that son show him i won
Essentially just a n-n-n-n-nervous kid

So I made a pact with the silence
If you get me out of this one
I'll be true to what I was born
To do and be a Roustabout (a roustabout)
Be a Roustabout (a roustabout)
Be a Roustabout

It ain't easy

Go!
