Bad Religion ~ A Streetkid Named Desire


Well, it was punk-fifteen in the morning And it was time to stand my ground And as the gawks and stares bombarded me You know, i didn't even hear a sound No one gave a damn If i was there or away If i died and went to hell, They'd throw a party on my grave And they'd all say "this kid is just a fool, he'll never be cool They might as well just ship him off To some other school" Plain destitute Just a little too guilty, just a little too soon That day was just like any other day No work, and no pay I knew that paradise was some other place And i'd get there another day I will find it before i expire 'cuz i've got the desire Well, it was punk-fifteen in the evening And it was time to set the town on fire I saw my boots and my hair As reflected in the mirror Reveal a streetkid named desire I didn't give a damn Because i was just dying to be And as the hollywood street scene Left its mark on me I changed from a boy into a man I said "never again!" I stuck out my chin when i should have ran Shit in the fan I was driven so hard By the sound of my heart But that day was just like any other day No work, and no pay I knew that paradise was some other place And i'd get there another day I will find it before i expire 'cuz i've got the desire When the walls surround In deeper shades of blue And there's no voice of reason inside you And you search for meaning On an empty shelf Then you're always dreaming Of somewhere else Today is just like any other day No fear, no restraint I know that paradise is some other place And i will get there another day You can come with me, No conditions or fares Somehow, somewhere, I will find it before i expire, 'cuz i've got the desire more free lyrics

Well, it was punk-fifteen in the morning
And it was time to stand my ground
And as the gawks and stares bombarded me
You know, i didn't even hear a sound
No one gave a damn
If i was there or away
If i died and went to hell,
They'd throw a party on my grave
And they'd all say
"this kid is just a fool, he'll never be cool
They might as well just ship him off
To some other school"
Plain destitute
Just a little too guilty, just a little too soon
That day was just like any other day
No work, and no pay
I knew that paradise was some other place
And i'd get there another day
I will find it before i expire
'cuz i've got the desire
Well, it was punk-fifteen in the evening
And it was time to set the town on fire
I saw my boots and my hair
As reflected in the mirror
Reveal a streetkid named desire
I didn't give a damn
Because i was just dying to be
And as the hollywood street scene
Left its mark on me
I changed from a boy into a man
I said "never again!"
I stuck out my chin when i should have ran
Shit in the fan
I was driven so hard
By the sound of my heart
But that day was just like any other day
No work, and no pay
I knew that paradise was some other place
And i'd get there another day
I will find it before i expire
'cuz i've got the desire
When the walls surround
In deeper shades of blue
And there's no voice of reason inside you
And you search for meaning
On an empty shelf
Then you're always dreaming
Of somewhere else
Today is just like any other day
No fear, no restraint
I know that paradise is some other place
And i will get there another day
You can come with me,
No conditions or fares
Somehow, somewhere,
I will find it before i expire,
'cuz i've got the desire

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
