Teenage Warrior Lyrics

-- Paul Barrere, Craig Fuller, Bill Payne, Fred Tackett 

Gettin' it while you can 
Before the fascination goes 
Down to the very last man 
Where it stops nobody knows 
  
Nothin to hold you back when the feelin's right 
Hidin' from the day and waitin' for the night 
It's just a pretty hard thing 
To keep gettin' back up after being knocked down 
  
Ain't no backin' down 
Ain't no turnin' of the other cheek 
The rules of the rest of the town 
Ain't the same ones out here on the street 
Lookin' for anything that'll make your emotions stir 
Like walkin' the street with some tight-skirt sister 
It's just a pretty hard thing 
To keep gettin' back up after being knocked down 
  
I'm caught in a crossfire 
Of a hopeless disillusion 
Nothin' but chain link and barbed wire 
Defining the confusion 
  
Ain't really enough to hold back the winter wind 
Really don't know if it's keppin you out or it's keepin' me in 
It's just a pretty hard thing 
To keep gettin' back up after being knocked down 
It's just a pretty hard thing, A pretty tough town 
Ya keep gettin' back up after being knocked down 
It's just a pretty hard thing, a pretty tough town
