A Nervous Kid

A little freckled wonder
 A BMX riding bandit
 Chucked a cigarette in passing, yeah
 Called me a faggot
 My skinny little hands ...
 To find something ...
 I was angry ... full of beans
 Essentially just a n-n-n-n-nervous kid
 It was the year of care for kids
 They even made a campaign song
 They used to sing it as I entered the room
 Before light switched on
 Just In case my lone obductor
 Was to spark a message within
 I was eager to learn
 Full of sunburn
 Essentially just a n-n-n-n-nervous kid
 So I made a pact with the silence
 If you get me out of this one
 I'll be true to what I was born to do and be a Roustabout, Roustabout
 Yeah a Roustabout
 It was the year of gettin' loose
 It was the year that my head broke
 Clueless and free in the ACT
 My mind buckled its spokes
 ... was like a hummingbird
 I cried til it returned
 I want to drag that son
 Show him i won
 Essentially just a n-n-n-n-nervous kid
 So I made a pact with the silence
 If you get me out of this one
 I'll be true to what I was born to do and be a Roustabout (a roustabout)
 Be a Roustabout (a roustabout)
 Be a Roustabout
 It ain't easy
 Be a Roustabout
 It ain't easy
 Be a Roustabout
 A Roustabout, a Roustabout
 Be a Roustabout
 It ain't easy
 Be a Roustabout
 It ain't easy
 Be a Roustabout
 Go!
