lyrics

Sitting up, up on the hillside
Drinking red wine from the bottle
Reflecting on the city lights
Reflecting on your future
Kid, you've got no future
Oh, kid, you've got no future

The parties are all getting started
Before this night's through you'll be broken-hearted
She'll walk on you 'till your black and blue
Because your affection is affliction and don't you dare fall in love with a hot mod?

'Cause what's love to a hot mod?
What's love to a hot mod?

Playing hearts over in the corner
While everyone dances to the radio rhythms
And waves, radio waves wash over you like happiness

But what's happiness to kid with no future,
Counting down the days till the end of summer
Sitting on a stoop with a brown paper bag
And telling old stories cause it's all that you have
Walking through the night like you own this city
And waking up depressed because you feel so shitty

Oh, you're leading a charmed life
Yeah, you're leading a charmed life

You gotta target on your chest
Compassion in the age of cruelty never seemed so useless

You better ask yourself
If it isn't you is gonna have to be someone else?

Yeah.
