Retired At 21 Lyrics - In My Head - Black Flag

Had money in my pocket 

But he had a gun 

How was I to know 

That I was a lucky one? 

You got me through this time 

But my time will come 

When things get wild 

I'll get out from underneath the gun 

You're retired at 21 

Your mind is gone 

Your race is run 

You're retired at 21 

You side with the law 

And the man with the gun 

Lookin' for a thrill 

But it just ain't that easy 

'cause when you move in for the kill 

Got to get sleazy 

The bait'll come off the wild(? ) 

Before we crawl all over you 

We've both got power 

And at(? ) you'll don't know what I'll do 

Money money money 

'll buy you food into my brain 

But your heart can't even breathe 

'cause your soul's already claimed 

Collecting a scrapbook 

Proud of what you've done 

No more pushing 

Retired at 21 

You're retired at 21 

Your mind is gone 

Your race is run 

You're retired at 21 

You side with the law 

And the man with the gun 

Crapshoot crapshoot 

Don't know what you'll find there 

Don't want no one 

To catch you in a dare 

Your life story is complete 

The clock has got you beat 

You look at life 

Then you turn and retreat 

You're retired at 21 

Your mind is gone 

Your race is run 

You're retired at 21 

You side with the law 

And the man with the gun
