[Boulton/Marsh/Wiggins] Young boy say you got a bad attitude A problem child, a creature of a mis-spent youth On Monday morning you're working the protection line The bossman tells you your hair is way too long (You're a dead end kid) But every evening that's when the day begins You and the boys kick hard into the heart of town Cool beer and the girls are so pretty Party on 'til the dead of night Nothin' gonna get you down [Bridge] You want to touch (you wanna touch) You want to feel it deep inside You're a loaded gun (loaded gun) Oh life pulls the trigger (bang bang) It's shot you down in flames (shot you down in flames [Chorus] Who shot (shot down with a bullet to the heart) But you ain't gonna die, it's just the edge of the blade Ain't gonna cry livin' close to the edge But it's hard (but it's hard) labelled dead end kid Burned out town where you think you're killing time Young and restless you teed a place to unwind Everybody says you don't care about nothin' It's jungle law You're an animal with its first taste of blood [Bridge] [Chorus] Oh you're a dead end kid A dead end kid oh yeah Think you've got all the answers But you ain't going nowhere [Solo] [Chorus]
