Sex Drugs & Violence

Every night trouble follows me
Like a mystery girl
I’ve been chasing 'round a memory
Like a mystery girl

I’ve been getting lost searching my soul
All around this town
I took a wrong turn at growing up
And it’s freaking me out

Back at school, it never made much sense
I can pay but I can pay attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life

Too young to die I guess
But that’s the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress to

Sex, drugs and violence
English, math, and science
Safety in numbers
Gimme, gimme danger

Well, I don’t wanna be an imbecile
But Jesus made me that way

Every night I’ve been running wild
Like a runaway
Wherever the night takes me
Like a stowaway

Back at home it doesn’t make much sense
I can pay but I can pay attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life

Too young to die I guess
But that’s the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress to

Sex, drugs and violence
English, math, and science
Safety in numbers
Gimme, gimme danger

Back at school it never made much sense
I can pay but I can pay attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life

Too dumb to die I guess
But that’s the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress to

Sex, drugs and violence
English, math, and science
Safety in numbers
Gimme, gimme danger
