Sixteen

While the people stood around and stared
We were racing past the walls
Outside the bars of innocence
Where we could steal it all…
While the people stood around and stared
We were racing past the walls
Outside the bars of innocence
Where we could steal it all
Sixteen was the sound of smashing glass just for kicks
And running from the car alarms down Yates and Douglas strip
Break the circle, babies
Chase them underground
Suburban rage rose above the boredom of this town
And all we want tonight is to fall in love 'neath the midnight sky
When the morning bell starts ringing
Like razors in your head
Teacher she don’t understand
All the lies that she’s been fed
There’s a current that is burning and begging to be free
Downtown where the action is
Gimme something to believe
