There's a kid in my mind who says "Now have a good time"

And the man in my soul makes me behave.

So tell me which do I pick if I'm gonna get a kick,

If I'm gonna try to have a good time.

I got an angel and a devil looking over my back

and each one is ready to go.

There's no such thing as a happy medium

if you have any plans to let go.



(chorus)

I'm gonna grow up fast in this world alone

and leave behind something to show.

All I need is my friends standing by me to the end

and the drugs are only gonna make me slow.



There's a million different ways to have fun today

and I hope to God that I never try

crack cocaine or heroin in my vein

Because I'll surely be the junkie runnin' dry.

But alcohol's another story 'cause I've really got a taste

and I've really had a good ol' time

at Montreal at the bars or driving in my car

from San Francisco all the way to Philadelphia



(chorus)



...I got a real close friend who told me something I won't forget

"You're gonna get the face you deserve."

So I'm gonna do my best to kill 'em with kindness

So I can grow up to be good...



(chorus)
