Messin' with the kid

It ain't too easy being a young man
going round in circles all of the time
you've played their game now for so long can't see
what in the world are they trying to do to me

CHORUS -Sometimes you get that old lost feeling
Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down
It's that old feeling that brings you down
I say it makes you crawl, right up the nearest wall

You walk down the main street out in the city
see all the girls now they are so pretty
but all their smiling faces are just going to pass you by
it don't make no difference
no matter how hard you try..

CHORUS

(weird power chord like riff)
You been hanging around the alleys hanging around the bars looking for some
fun but there is none & there you are... looking for some action looking for
some fun but you are down in the gfutter & you don't get none no no there is
nothing left to do.....

CHORUS

How do you feel now that it's all over
your kid dreams all melted under the sun
just like a kid take a trip down to the sea
I am struck out in the middle
with nothing left to say

CHORUS
