WE WERE THE ONES

We had a hell of a time back in 1984
Runnin’ the streets of China town
Black top Betties neon lights and painted doors
Out on the beat just hanging around

We were the ones who had to leave this town in shambles
We were the ones who tried to save our teenage souls
We were the ones who scaled the biting chain link fences
We were the ones

We’d talk about life, talk about school, talk about hating all the rules
Runnin’ the streets of this old town
Drive in theatres, parking meters, shooting pool
Any direction, didn’t care where we were bound

We were the ones who had to leave this town in shambles
We were the ones who tried to save our teenage souls
We were the ones who scaled the biting chain link fences

Don’t think twice I’ve got you covered
And I know you’ve got me covered
Together we can rule the world

We were the ones who had to leave this town in shambles
We were the ones who tried to save our teenage souls
We were the ones who scaled the biting chain link fences
We were the ones who thought that life was never dull……….
