They always tell you what to do and how to live your life   assuming they can plan your future   18 is it worth waiting for?   I know right now it seems the pain will never go away   you can hardly face it sober   and every minute leaves you wanting more   don't give up. never give up   you can’t give up, not now      [chorus:]   Kid, go and do what you want   you've got to give all you've got   in this game it is all or it’s nothing[x2]      I know sometimes you seem to think that you are all alone   and then you wish it was all over   18 is it worth waiting for?   It's a game that you play   stand and fight, don't run away   you'll see another day   don't give up. never give up.   you can't give up   not now.      [chorus x3]
