A sixteen hundred, packed with angry young men   Came burning down main street   I touched the Epiphone that hung on my hip   It knew the sound of my heartbeat      But turning the corner in a twisted heap   They pulled some bodies from an upturned Ford   Some kid looked at me and said, it's only life   Might as well use it while we're young   Might as well use it while we're young      I queued with some friends outside the ABC One   To see the killer with no name   Yeah, De Niro's so great, and you know last week   I saw the universe in flames      But it's always the same like Citizen Kane   Y'end up with nothing and you leave for home   Talking and kicking coke cans in the street   As Fu Manchu looks on   As Fu Manchu looks on      And I thought they must think I'm crazy   The things I'll see for fun   Then in my mind I saw the enemy   And I wasted him with my gun      I thought of my brother working Heathrow   Flying engines in the night   Learning every part, he'll be through in years   When I'm signed on for life      Lying here, waiting for a hero to rise   But a lazy man lies back instead   No one hears the young man when he's alone   Planning to kill someone   Planning to kill someone      And I thought it must be me who's crazy   The things I'll do for fun   Choosing poison to get to paradise   Paradise West one      And I thought it must be me who's crazy   The things I'll do for fun   Choosing poison to get to paradise   Paradise West one
