Unruly Child

Unruly Child (2003)

Unruly Child


Mama says I'm playing with fire
Sheriff says I'm going to jail
Lecture from a small town preacher
Leaves my soul a reservation in hell
Teacher says I'm not doing better
Can't wait to tell me I'm gonna fail
See the eyes inside the other side of the mirror
The only one who knows you well

Life's just a game, remember how to play it
No finish line, no number one
It's never who you hate, but it could be who you love
You gotta learn to keep your heart young

I want to live like an Unruly Child
Come on and take my hand
I'm gonna take you down to the land of the wild
Where we can live the life of an Unruly Child

Hey mister don't you point that finger
And tell me what I cannot do
I look around and I see that the whole world
Is filled with fools like you
You see yourself growing older
Accepting that it's time to retire
But I'm never gonna lose the love I saw as a child
Never gonna lose that fight

Life's just a game, remember how to play it
No finish line, no number one
It's never who you hate, but it could be who you love
You gotta learn to keep your heart young

I want to live like an Unruly Child
Come on take a chance with me
I'm gonna take you down to the land of the wild
Where we can live the life of an Unruly Child
