(tennant/lowe)<br>------------------<br>You may be broke now, and you may be bored<br>Call you delinquent or leave you ignored<br>You'll get what you want<br><br>Drive to distraction, crash on the way<br>Watch your reaction, wait 'till you say<br>You'll get what you want<br>It hurts if you can't<br><br>Young offender, what's your defense? <br>You're younger than me, obviously<br>Young offender, why the pretense? <br>You don't agree, I know, I know<br><br>I'll do what you want if you want me enough<br>I'll put down my book and start falling in love<br>Or isn't that done? <br><br>How graceful your movements, how bitter your scorn<br>I've been a teenager since before you were born<br>And I'm younger than some<br>I've only begun<br><br>Young offender, what's your defense? <br>You're younger than me, obviously<br><br>When I get in your way, or open your eyes? <br>Who will give whom the bigger surprise? <br><br>Is there fire in your eyes, or the glow of machines? <br>Watch how your fingers thumb over the keys<br>So sure what you do<br>I haven't a clue<br><br>Young offender, what's your defense? <br>You're younger than me, obviously<br>Young offender, how you resent<br>The lovers you need, it hurts when they bleed<br>Young offender, why the pretense? <br>You don't agree, I know, I know
