Sixteen

While the people stood around and stared
We were racing past the walls
Outside the bars of innocence
Where we could steal it all...

While the people stood around and stared
We were racing past the walls
Outside the bars of innocence
Where we could steal it all

Sixteen was the sound of smashing glass just for kicks
And running from the car alarms down Yates and Douglas strip
Break the circle, babies
Chase them underground
Suburban rage rose above the boredom of this town

And all we want tonight is to fall in love 'neath the midnight sky

When the morning bell starts ringing
Like razors in your head
Teacher she don't understand
All the lies that she's been fed

There's a current that is burning and begging to be free
Downtown where the action is
Gimme something to believe

Out of your control
Teenage kicks and some rock'n'roll

Break the circle, babies
Smash the underground
Don't we all just want some friends around
Dropout and get turned on

There's a current that is burning and begging to be free
Downtown where the action is
Gimme something to believe

Out of your control
Teenage wars and some rock'n'roll
