[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The last time I stole my father s keys
I couldn t have been older than nineteen
I hightailed his car from New Jersey to Willow Grove
[Chorus]
And you could not see their street signs through the smoke
[Verse 2]
Between the dumpster diving, vandalizing
Suburban streets and disturbing the peace
Everything we passed, we smashed
It was broken pavement and shattered glass
[Chorus]
And you could not read the street signs through the smoke
Just afterthoughts passing all of the laws we broke
[Verse 3]
Considered violent and reckless by North Philly detectives
We occupied the space where we d never have a thing to lose
Between the bong rips and knife hits
Protestant booze, stick-and-poke tattoos
We were just over-privileged youth seeking something to do
[Chorus]
And I could not see my street sign through the smoke
Just an afterthought rushing past all the laws we broke
[Outro]
When the morning came, I woke up in bed back at home
