days of rage

Rod Stewart

Ha!

Born on these city streets
How does she keep telling me
"How come you dare to dare to be different"
You're in my head and I don't look back
Read the words of Kerorac
My brother said "Join the bloody army", yeah!

Going down the cemetery, here am I for the C. N. D
My feet were frozen, my hands were bleeding
Playing tough on the streets alone
Police there wouldn't leave me alone
Dad said "Give over being a vagrant", yeah!

Was this a rebel without a reason?
I'm not a tailor without clothes
I was this youthful desolation
So much to learn, nowhere to turn?

Days of rage, here's a promise?
Would it be like mine?
Would it be like yours?
Days of rage, here's a promise?
Don't let it slip by without wondering why?
Ha!

Short back and sides, came my Ma?
The old man said I was a lazy son
Hung around with thieves and villains from the West End
Take pills, stay up all night, talk about football, start to fight?
But the air was wrong, to women freezing

It was a time of indecisions
No point to ask, no mercy given
I searches for truth the words in wisdom?
Turn back the clock, I'd rather not!

Days of rage, here's a promise?
Would it be line mine?
Let it be like yours!
Days Of rage, here's a promise?
They'll pass you by with a wink of an eye!

Racked in our brains, we live our nation
We rode on every road and station
No home, no job, no expectations
Nothing's changed?
So who's to blame?

Days of rage, here's a promise?
Don't be like mine?
Let it be like yours!
Days of rage, here's a promise?
They'll pass you by with a wink of an eye!

Days of rage, here's a promise?
Don't be like mine?
Let it be like yours!

Days of rage, here's a promise?
Don't let it slip by without wondering why?

Days of rage, here's a promise?
Don't be like mine?
Let it be like yours!

Days of rage, here's a promise?
Don't let it slip by without wondering why?

Yeah, yeah!
Yeah!
Fucking!
Yeah!
