Blame It on My Youth - Brothers From Another

I wasn't born with the rich blood I started out with plenty of nothing at all I got stuck in the thick mud The flash flood, punk rock, and the alcohol I was raised on a re-run I was bored to death so I started a band Cut my teeth on a safety dance My attention span never stood a chance It's too late, can you forgive me now? You could never kill my high I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth I wasn't made for the good life I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road I tripped and fell on hard times The tough breaks are the only kind I know I was left on a door step I was scared to death with nowhere to go Cut myself on the neighbor's fence That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in It's too late, can you forgive me now? You could never kill my high I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth I was raised on the Ritalin Ever since I was a little kid No one else seemed to give a shit I don't need an excuse I don't need an excuse You could never kill my heart I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never kill my heart (Endless summer) I'm the ink and you're the headline (Stretching on and on) Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth Endless summer, stretching on and on

I can get a little dark But it's coming from my heart Wide open I know I'm on the rocks But don't put me in a box Thats broken I don't care when I drink too much I don't need you to hold me up I'm outta cigarettes I got an itch in my chest Oh oh The guilt was killing me But finally I'm done kicking out the voices in my head Sick of fighting all these uninvited guests Ever since they all came over We've all kinda gotten close I'm gonna dance with my demons If you can't beat em join em I know them They know me Together we're The life of my party Cut the ties with my shame Give fear a stupid name Knock it down to its knees Gut it up let bleed Oh oh Something I gotta do for myself Can't live life for no one else I smoke a cigarette And think about my ex I know that shit is killing me But finally I'm done kicking out the voices in my head Sick of fighting all these uninvited guests Oh ever since they all came over We've all kinda gotten close I'm gonna dance with my demons If you can't beat em join em I know them They know me Together we're The life of my party I'm tired of hearing my guts So loud it's keeping me up I'm done pushin it down I'll do what I gotta do now Rip out all of this regret Let's see how deep I can get I been caring too much Feels so good not giving a fuck I'm done kicking out the voices in my head Sick of fighting all these uninvited guests Oh ever since they all came over We've all kinda gotten close I'm gonna dance with my demons If you can't beat em join em I know them They know me Together we're The life of my party Dance with my demons If you can't beat em join em I know them They know me Together we're The life of my party
