I wasn't born with the rich blood I started out with plenty of nothing at all I got stuck in the thick mud The flash flood, punk rock, and the alcohol I was raised on a re-run I was bored to death so I started a band Cut my teeth on a safety dance My attention span never stood a chance It's too late, can you forgive me now? You could never kill my high I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth I wasn't made for the good life
I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road I tripped and fell on hard times The tough breaks are the only kind I know I was left on a door step I was scared to death with nowhere to go Cut myself on the neighbor's fence That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in It's too late, can you forgive me now? You could never kill my high I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth I was raised on the Ritalin Ever since I was a little kid No one else seemed to give a shit I don't need an excuse I don't need an excuse You could never kill my heart I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never kill my heart (Endless summer) I'm the ink and you're the headline (Stretching on and on) Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth Endless summer, stretching on and on
