Lyrics The Distillers

The Distillers

The Young Crazed Peeling

Are you ready to be liberated

On this sad side city street

Well the birds have been freed from their cages

I got freedom and my youth

My name is Brody I'm from Melbourne

Fitzroy Melbourne Fitzroy Melbourne

I grew up on Bell St. then on Bennett St.

My mum kicked out my dad for battery

Found a way, she found a way

She found a way out of spiritual penury

Working single mother in an urban struggle

Blames herself now cause I grew up troubled

It hit me I got everything I need [Repeat x2]

My one heart felt too much from the start

I've seen people come and go

Living large and living low

You can build up your walls sitting on death row

Let the curtain fall on your murdered soul

You can wash it all down swallow your story

Get smacked off your head go down in drum roll glory

You won't solve it committing self inflicted crime

Go on pull the trigger this will be the last time

It hit me I got everything I need [Repeat x2]

I speak of the truth the truth of the heart

Like a desperate thirst in a raging drought

Hey youth time flies by

There's an everlasting battle for eternal life

I love a man from California

He's the prettiest thing we got the same disorder

The way you feel it's OK I don't give a shit anyway

It hit me I got everyone I need [Repeat x2]

Are you ready to be liberated

On this sad side city street

Well the birds have been freed from their cages

I got freedom and my youth

Yeah I got freedom and my youth
