I've had these jeans since i was born
and now they're ripped and now they're torn
all my friends have skateboards

i want the toys of other boys
i want a knife and a gun and things
but mum and dad wil not give in

and i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
no i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in

and now i know just what it is
it's got disease and it's got my head
it always runs when i hide

too scared to talk, too scared to try
too scared to know the reasons why
and all my friends say "bye bye"

and i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
no i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in

no i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
no i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
i can't put the needle in
