Leather boots poundin' the floor
Black and shiny kickin' the door
When the police hit the streets
They never take those boots off of their feet
If I break the law and get caught
I could get smashed in the face
By the big boys
'Cause they're frightened by the real world
Frightened by the real world
Scared of the real world, oh yeah
I saw a cop, he looked pretty shocked
By some criminals, left there to rot
I took a look, no one around
I put his boots and stomped on the ground
Stood so tall and felt so strong
I wanted to be just like them
So I could hurt somebody
Hurt somebody
Hurt somebody, hurt somebody
Scared of the real world, oh yeah
Scared of the real world, oh yeah
Don't you litter or score in the dark
Don't kill your lover and don't over park
'Cause if you murder or if you loot
You'll get the heel of my new leather boots
If you break the law and get caught
You could get smashed in the face
By this young boy
Who is frightened by the real world
This boy is frightened by the real world
I'm gonna hurt somebody
'Cause I'm frightened of the real world
