i've had these jeans since i was born

and now they're ripped and now they're torn

and all my friends have skateboards

i want the toys of other boys

i want a knife and a gun and things

but mum and dad will not give in

and i can't put the needle in

can't put the needle in

i can't put the needle in

and now i know just what it is

it's called disease and it's got my head

it always runs where i hide

too scared too talk too scared to try

too scared to know the reasons why

and all my friends say bye bye

and i can't put the needle in

can't put the needle in

i can't put the needle in
