Days of Rage - Rod Stewart

Born up in the city streets

How did she get tired of me?

How come you dare to dare to be different?

You were my

You had the world so

My folks said, «Join the bloody army,"yeah

Got a job at the cemetery

but the CME

My feet were bruised, my hands were bleedin'

Playin' guitar in the streets alone

Woman stared, wouldn’t leave me alone

God said, «Love being a vagrant,"yeah

Was this a rebel without reason?

A hot potato without coals?

Or was this youthful desolation?

So much to learn, nowhere to turn

Days of rage

Years of promise

Who to be like mine

Who to be like yours

Days of rage

Years of promise

Don’t let it slip by

Without wondering why

Ow!

Strut back aside, came out

The old man said I was a lazy sod

Runnin' 'round with thieves and runners from the West End

Take a piss, stay up all night

Told gon' start a fight

The beer was warm, the women freezing

It was a time in decisions

New glass, new mercy given

I searched for truth in words of wisdom

Turned back the clock, or not

Days of rage

Years of promise

Who to be like mine

Who to be like yours

Days of rage

Years of promise

It’ll pass you by

With a wink of an eye

The immigrants love our nation

We wrote on every wall and station

No home, no job, no expectations

Nothing’s changed, so who’s to blame?

Days of rage

Years of promise

Don’t be like mine

Better be like yours

Days of rage

Years of promise

It’ll pass you by

With a wink of an eye

Days of rage

Years of promise

Who to be like mine

Better be like yours

Days of rage

Years of promise

Don’t let it slip by

Without wondering why

Days of rage

Years of promise

Who to be like mine

Who to be like yours

Days of rage

Years of promise

Don’t let it slip by

Without wondering why

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

Fuckin' yeah
