Seventeen Songtext
von Daddy Stitch

First out of the house at the tender age of 17
I knew it all and I didn′t have a clue
A gun in one hand, a fifth in the other
And girlie by my side, I set out to see the world
Full of booze and blood and drugs and girls
Crime and grime and slime
This is it I thought, yeah, this is it

Is it hard to understand
Where decisions come from
When you're not an inside man?

At least you know I′m working
Make it any way I can
Is that the thing that hurts you?

So I chose the broken path
It's my life
No more guidance, no more rules
No aging wisdom sucking out my youth
And no more invasions of my privacy
In a place that's not my own


I knew it wouldn′t be easy to keep myself alive
Survive the wicked world around me
And I know you′re watching
Waiting for my fall

Is it hard to understand
Where decisions come from
When you're not an inside man?
At least you know I′m working
Make it any way I can
Is that the thing that hurts you?
So I chose the broken path
It's my life to ruin

Down to the corner liquor store today
Beer, cigarettes, you know the deal
And who do I see over there on aisle nine?
It′s my daddy grabbing a jug of wine
We shake hands, talk shit
I'm about to split, but after 11 years
He says, "Can I help you out, son?"
Looked him dead cold in the eyes and said
"I can fend for myself, motherfucker!"


Is it hard to understand
Where decisions come from
When you′re not an inside man?

At least you know I'm working
Make it any way I can
Is that the thing that hurts you?
So I chose the broken path
It's my life to ruin

Is it hard to understand? Yeah
Is it hard to understand?
Is it hard to understand? Yeah
Is it hard to understand?
It′s my life
Do you understand?
