Scared kids, you're all the same
You just live to fly again
Your age shows
Dead flies on the bumper tonight
Sore skin, your knuckles gone white
Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
My baby, born forty eight
Robbed a car and fled the state
Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Hit the stars on the way tonight
Smashed the car when you jumped the lights
Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
Stole a bus and now you've gone too far
All these stops are to pick up a car
Your rage shows
All these troubles are getting me down
Any more and I'd better leave town
Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
You just live to fly again
Your age shows
Dead flies on the bumper tonight
Sore skin, your knuckles gone white
Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
My baby, born forty eight
Robbed a car and fled the state
Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Hit the stars on the way tonight
Smashed the car when you jumped the lights
Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
Stole a bus and now you've gone too far
All these stops are to pick up a car
Your rage shows
All these troubles are getting me down
Any more and I'd better leave town
Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
