The Get Up Kids

Birmingham

Skip the introduction

Because we’re gonna take a step outside

You say that you’d like a cigarette

Well, hey man, I’m happy to oblige

We’re not from around here

And, I’m, I’m hoping that’s alright

See, we just left that pub right here

So far it’s been a pretty good night

Now, I see that you’ve been drinking

And honestly so have I

Did something I said just come off as rude?

I actually thought I was being quite polite

So when you punched me the first time

It came as a big surprise

But the second time that was your mistake

It sure as hell wasn’t mine, it was not mine

Two steps ahead and then you said

“You’re not from Birmingham”

Just what were you thinking?

Turned out to be a waste of time

You got to ride in a cop car

And that blood is yours it is not mine

Two steps ahead and then you said

“You’re not from Birmingham”

“You’re not from Birmingham”

Two steps ahead and then you said

“You’re not from Birmingham”

Two steps ahead and then you said

“You’re not from Birmingham”

“You’re not from Birmingham”

“You’re not from Birmingham”

“You’re not from Birmingham”

“You’re not from Birmingham”

“You’re not from Birmingham”
