Gangs of youth hit the street

Fighting every problem that they meet

Livin' in the edge of the devil's wrath

Fighting their way up

Getting shoved back

Over fourteen and under twenty-four

Bare backs up against slammed doors

No place to run, no place to go

I just wanna be left alone

Blame it on the kids

Your mama says you're her life's mistake

When all you're looking for is an even break

Aged knocking the ageless down

Can't see why you stick around

All you do is always undone

Or overlooked like nothing's won

The only time you come into view

Is when wrongs are done by the few

Blame it on the kids (x2)
