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 Mom and Dad will not give in



And I can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in

I can't put the needle in

No, I can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in



And now I know just what it is

It's called disease and it's got my head

It always runs where I hide



Too scared too 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

Can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in

No, I can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in



And I can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in

No, I can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in

Can't put the needle in
