On your thirteenth birthday they give you a drink
F C G Am
Say, 'Get it all down, you’ll forget how to think!'
F C G Am
So you tell your first girlfriend you're gonna die young
F C G Am
At the end of her garden she gives you some tongue
F C G Am
By fourteen she's left you, well life is unfair
F C G Am
You've got sh1t on your t-shirt and spikes in your hair
F C G Am
And your best friend from school said, 'Just doesn't suit you!'
F C G Am
You sit on a wall and you talk of the future, say
F C G Am
King for a king, eye for an eye
F C G Am
The birds still sing when they fall from the sky

If I slip a little whisky now into your cup

King for a king, eye for an eye
