Dropkick Murphys - Rebels with a Cause 11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory - 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsFKcNy88g4 [Intro] [Verse 1] As a point of conversation he was referencing relation From the corner he came from the company he’d keep She was from the country far from the city They shared one love they were destined for defeat He was tortured he was troubled She was sick and she was lost Searching for an answer rebels with a cause Doing what they do to get what they need Life was cheap there were no guarantees [Chorus] Dead end kids you don’t want ’em you don’t need ’em And you’ll always find a reason when you need to write ’em off Dead end kids you can take ’em you can leave ’em You said they’d never listen you said they’d be better off But we believed in you we knew it from the start Hey kid! You’ve got heart [Verse 2] They were wretched they were raw they were tough and they were mean They were scared they were cold they were somewhere in between Looking for a chance from someone who believed Remember what you see ain’t what always what it seems So give a kid hand lift him up and dust him off Many will stumble others will be lost For all who failed so many would succeed Don’t be angry at the kids be angry at the greed [Chorus 2] Dead end kids you don’t want ’em you don’t need ’em And you’ll always find a reason when you need to write ’em off Dead end kids you can take ’em you can leave ’em You said they’d never listen you said they’d be better off But we believed in you we knew it from the start Hey kid! You’ve got heart [Bridge] Dead end kids you don’t want ’em you don’t need ’em Dead end kids and you’ll always write ’em off Dead end kids you can take ’em you can leave ’em Dead end kids you said they’d be better off [Chorus 3] Dead end kids you don’t want ’em you don’t need ’em And you’ll always find a reason when you need to write ’em off Dead end kids you can take ’em you can leave ’em You said they’d never listen you said they’d be better off Dead end kids you don’t want ’em you don’t need ’em And you’ll always find a reason when you need to write ’em off Dead end kids you can take ’em you can leave ’em You said they’d never listen you said they’d be better off But we believed in you we knew it from the start Hey kid! You’ve got heart
