Wrong Side Of The Tracks

(album: A Billion Heartbeats - 2020)

There's a world outside your window and it needs you, son
Lunatics are reading Bibles and are buying guns
No matter what they say, no matter what you've done
Their words ain't worth the paper that they're printed on
Don't let them tie you down, lie and say your sick
They put you on the pill but what you got cannot be fixed
Never forget we're not like the other kids
All we ever wanted was to make the needle skip

Tonight, no one can stop them, only me and you
Tonight, no one can stop us, nothing they can do
Tonight, no one can stop them, only me and you
Tonight

So don't look back
And don't grow up, it's a trap
Even if they say we were born
On the wrong side of the tracks
Don't look back
'Cause that's not where it's at
Open your wings and
Don't you ever stop sticking pins into the map

There's a world outside your window, what you running from?
Heretics oppressing violence, dropping distance bombs
Never forget we're not like the other ones
All we ever wanted was to make the needle jump

Tonight, no one can stop them, only me and you
Tonight, no one can stop us, nothing they can do
Tonight, no one can stop them, only me and you

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)

So don't look back
And don't grow up, it's a trap
Even if they say we were born
On the wrong side of the tracks
Don't look back
'Cause that's not where it's at
Follow your dreams and don't you ever stop
Don't you ever stop, don't you, don't you dare look back

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) Don't you dare look back
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) Don't you, don't you dare look back
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) Don't you dare look back, look back, look back
Even if they say we were born
On the wrong side of the tracks

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
