i've had these jeans since i was born
and now they're ripped
and now they're torn
and all my friends have skateboards
i want the toys of other boys
i want a knife and a gun and things
but mum and dad will not give in
and i can't put the needle in

and now i know what it is
it's called disease and it's got my head
it always runs where i hide
too scared to talk too scared to try
too scared to know the reasons why
and all my friends say bye bye...
