It was the summer of 95 (so what!)
BD
In the backyard, shaving the old plies
AE
Feeling so strong (strong!), something went wrong (wrong!)
BD
Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long
AEB
I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear
DAE
"I'll never hurt myself again", but it seems that I'm deemed
BD
To be wrong, to be wrong, to be wrong
A
Gotta keep holding on... they always played a slow song.
ChorusAD
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
AE
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest
AD
Singin' "My, my, my, how the time does fly,
AE
When you know you're going to die by the end of the night." And said hey

I still remember when we were young and fragile then.
BD
No one gave a shit about us because times were tougher then.
AE
Feeling so good (good!) cruisin’ the hood (hood!)
BD
Straight into the real world where rich kids never understood.
AE
But I don't care, I can fade away to anywhere
BD
Don't stop because you might get dropped,
AEB
And if you do who's going to pick you up
DB
Well I won’t, well I won't... they always played a slow song.
