Lyrics

LISTEN BOYS

VERSE 1
Listen boys, don't do what I've done
School of hard knocks learned one by one
I can't say it hasn't been fun
Then face the music, don't cut and run

Listen boys to what I say
Try to live through another day
Soon you'll each find your own way
It's a narrow path try not to stray

CHORUS
There's one thing that I know
The day will come when you go

VERSE 2
I'm no hero, I'm no saint
Find your voice, it might be faint
Try it on like a coat of paint
Don't try to be something that you ain't

When I was just 16 years old
Thought by now I'd be dead and cold
Maybe I've been bought and sold
There are still things you must be told

CHORUS

SOLOS OVER VERSE

CHORUS

VERSE 3
When I was just 16 years old
Thought by now I'd be dead and cold
Maybe I've been bought and sold
There are still things you must be told

Listen boys, don't do what I've done
School of hard knocks learned one by one
Listen boys to what I say
Help you live through another day
