Elton John
Street Kids
[Verse 1]
They must've had the whole thing planned
There must have been a hundred
If we make a stand
I think we'll be outnumbered
If I'd had the chance
Then I could understand
Why I'm a juvenile delinquent
In an East End gang

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you think you've seen gasoline
Burning in my eyes
Don't be alarmed, and tell yourself
It's good to be, it's good to be alive (Oh)

[Chorus]
Just another street kid on your tail
Running on the wrong side of the rails
With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs
You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town
Those street kids making news just being around (Oh)

[Verse 2]
I've been bottled and been brained
Squealers can't be trusted
Ooh, if we fight tonight
You can bet we'll all be busted
I'd like to break away
From the rut I'm in
But beggars can't be choosers
Yeah, and I was born to sin
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you think you've seen gasoline
Burning in my eyes
Don't be alarmed, and tell yourself
It's good to be, it's good to be alive (Oh)

[Chorus]
It's just another street kid on your tail
And I'm running on the wrong side of the rails
With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs
You know that I run the toughest bunch this side of town
Those street kids making news just being around

[Post-Chorus]
Hear it for the street kids
Making news just being around
Let's hear it for the street kids
Making news just being around
Let's hear it for the street kids

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
And if you think you've seen gasoline
Burning in my eyes
Don't be alarmed, and tell yourself
It's good to be, it's good to be alive (Oh)
Just another street kid making news just being around
Just another street kid
Just another street kid
Just another street kid making news just being around
Just another street kid
Just another street kid
Just another street kid making news just being around
Street kid, street kid, street kid
Street kid, street kid, street kid
Making news just being around
Street kid, street kid, street kid
Making news just being around
Street kid, street kid, street kid
Making news just being around
Street kid, street kid, street kid
Street kid, street kid, street kid
Just another street kid
Just another street kid
Just another street kid making news just being around
Street kid, street kid, street kid
Street kid
