|
All the ghosts in the schoolyard |
|
Young rebels with no dreams |
|
Dying of old age |
|
At seventeen |
|
Some blame their mothers |
|
For this unforgiving world |
|
Others point the finger |
|
At the flag the wind unfurls |
|
But i say |
|
You are the lock you are the key |
|
You are the master of your destiny |
|
The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
Don't you give him the room or and inch to play |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
There's a face in the mirror |
|
You don't recognize |
|
So you shatter the lights |
|
'cause they sting your bloodshot eyes |
|
You walk on with a stranger |
|
Who rolls your soul up in his wad |
|
You place your trust in him |
|
Like you once placed it in god |
|
Well i say |
|
You are the lock you are the key |
|
You are the master of your destiny |
|
The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
Don't you give him the room or and inch to play |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
Caught between the cyclone fence and a red brick wall |
|
Yeah, you melt like chocolate in the sun |
|
Then you see your angel walking with his high-tops on |
|
And he hands you heaven hotter than a loaded gun |
|
(the time of day) |
|
Don't you give him |
|
(the time of day) |
|
Don't you give him |
|
(the time of day) |
|
You are the lock you are the key |
|
You are the master of your destiny |
|
The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
Don't you give him the room or and inch to play |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
All the ghosts in the schoolyard |
|
Young rebels with no dreams |
|
Dying of old age |
|
At seventeen |
|
Well i say |
|
You are the lock you are the key |
|
You are the master of your destiny |
|
The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
Don't you give him the room or and inch to play |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
|
Don't give the devil the time of day |
