Me and my best friends, cruising down West End Hiding from cops and driving circles the block all week Now, all of my friends Out on West End They say we're born to die young, but we're tryin' to live in peace
So maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad Shangri-La at the bus stops And maybe God is just a cop that we can talk
So if you're guilty and you it, put your hands up 'Cause karma's a different word for bad luck And if death is just another pair of handcuffs?
Then better run we'd better run
All of our friends crazy on LSD Sailing their cars through the big bright city And who knows our name Says that we ain't ever gonna They say we're born to die young, but tryin' to find a better way They say we're born to die young, but we're tryin' to find a way
heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks Shangri-La at the bus stops And maybe God is just a cop that we can talk
So if you're and you know it, put your hands up 'Cause just a different word for bad luck And what if death is another pair of handcuffs?
Then we'd run Then better run
(What up?) (Hey, up man?) (I'm sittin' at [?]) ([?] be thirty two years old Tomorrow) (And I feel) (Half completely alive, then completely dead)
Hope and we Day day They say we're to die young, but we're gonna find a better way Hope and we Day day say we're born to die young, but we're gonna find a better way
So heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks Shangri-La dealers at the bus And maybe God is just a cop that we can talk
So if you're guilty and you know it, put your up 'Cause just a different word for bad luck And what if death is just pair of handcuffs?
we'd better run Then we'd run we'd better run
