Thrash Unreal Lyrics - New Wave - Against Me!

If she wants to dance and drink all night 

Well, there's no one that can stop her 

She's going till the house lights come up or her stomach spills onto the floor 

This night is gonna end when we're damn well ready for it to be over 

Worked all week long, now the music is playing on our time 

Yeah, we do what we do to get by, and then we need a release 

You get mixed up with the wrong guys 

You get messed up on the wrong drugs 

Sometimes the party takes you places that you didn't really plan on going 

When people see the track marks on her arm, she knows what they're thinking 

She keeps on working for that minimum 

As if a high school education gave you any other options, you know 

They don't know nothing about redemption 

They don't know nothing about recovery 

Some people just aren't the type for marriage and family 

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie 

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone 

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie 

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone 

She's out of step with the style 

She don't know where the action's happening 

You know the downtown club scene ain't nothing like it used to be 

You reach a point where there's not a lie in the world 

That you could use to make the boys believe you're still in your twenties 

But they keep getting younger, don't they, baby? 

She's not waiting for someone to come over and ask for the privilege 

She can still here that rebel yell just as loud as it was in 1983, you know 

There ain't no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her, and she doesn't care 

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie 

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone 

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie 

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone 

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie 

And if she had to live it all over again, you know she wouldn't change anything for the world
