 Verse


 [(1)]There's a kid who was born and was raised in the west,


 There's a kid from the east that never really fit in with the rest.


 


 [(2)]See a bum on the street that you'd think you'd recognise,


 Young kid never looked so bad when he was only four-foot high.

 PM. . . . . . . . .


 


 [(1)]Every week they would meet in the street with their friends,


 With the guns that they made and the caps that they stole,


 They would fight to their deaths.


 


 [(2)]6 o-clock, running home, I don't wanna be late,


 Another Saturday of sun and war,


 Shared with our mates.

 drag the pick across the strings fast enough to avoid the riff becoming an arpeggio.
