Across the country he's been stealing cars
Playing cat and mouse like a hero on d-day

He's a good boy, in his heart but a fool
Don't wanna be a fugitive
He'd rather be at home or in school

We wanna know whats this death wish you're talking about
He's cold, he's hungry and he's scared
He's got his father on his mind and this message to get out
I wanna steal, I wanna give, I wanna die, I wanna live
I wanna find my own identity like any other teenage kid
Chorus x2
