I get up in the mornin' with a face I don't know
Stare out the window while my coffe goes cold
It never gets old
Lines on my face gettin' clearer each day
I don't give a dawn what my friends all say
It doesn't matter anyway

'Cos I feel like a Kid on a merry-go-round
I wanna go faster, don't wanna slow down
Never had a dollar but I got enough sense
Guess my get up 'n' go
Never got up 'n' went - so I

Keep on keepin' on, 'til my days are gone
No one's gonna tell me that i'm wrong
I feel so alive, I'll be 18 'til I die
Rock and rollin', I'm still goin' strong
Gonna keep on keepin' on

I make no excuses for the way that I live
I never have, I never did - and that's the way it is
'Cos I march to the beat of a different drum
It's gotta be loud or ain't no fun
My old man said "Don't be in such a hurry now"
"Growin' up will let you down" - so I

(Chorus)

Life's what ya make it, and I ain't gonna waste it
Gonna reach out and take it now
I get up in the mornin' with a face I don't know
Stare out the window while my coffe goes cold....

(Chorus)
