Jimmy and the Tough Kids Songtext
von Louise Goffin

Why do you leave me feeling so unsure
When I come here every day
I don′t know what all this learning's for
You never ask me what I have to say

When I go beyond the fence for good
I′ll find Jimmy in my neighborhood
And there's nothin' that he will deny me

Mr. History Teacher
Tries so hard to be immune
Two dozen impatient eyes
They just can′t wait to leave the room

Well I can′t write a book and I can't balance
But I got a lot of hidden talents
And that′s all I need to be one of the kids

It's just like,
Jimmy and the tough kids meet after school
I′d rather be a misfit than follow the rules


(Tough kids)

Mama don't you know where I go after three
Dad ain′t ever home
Me and my sister used to fight for the highchair
But now we fight for the throne

You can say I got no common sense
But I'm guilty without evidence
And it's no crime to be one of the kids

It′s just like,
Jimmy and the tough kids meet after school
I′d rather be a misfit than follow the rules

When I go out on the streets tonight
I know everything will be alright
Feels so good to be one of the kids

Just like,
Jimmy and the tough kids meet after school
I'd rather be a misfit than follow the rules

Jimmy and the tough kids
