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
I can't put the needle in I can't put the needle in
No, I can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in 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
 And I can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
No, I can't put the needle in
 I can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in

And I can't put the needle in
 I can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
 No  I can't put the needle in
 I can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
