Hot Hot Heat - 21@12 Lyrics

Let's be honest, we're all criminals here
So take the halo down
Autograph hunters making legends
Out of scumbags from a better town

21 at midnight, it's a curse
Of a man who'd kill to put it off
Wrestling grizzly bears just to draw a crowd
A crowd that would have jumped at dogs

When you're 21 at midnight
You act like a man
Look him in the eyes and say
What you just said to me then

21 at midnight
Your tombstone in hand
You fight so hard to give away for free
What you're gonna just want again

A virtual who's-who of the who-cares
The self appointed kings and queen
Better off jester rather tame the troops
Than fertilize the village green

Hey you, I knew you back in 1999
I know you don't forget
Obligations plague you still
Why can't you shed 'em yet?

When you're 21 at midnight
You act like a man
Look him in the eyes and say
What you just said to me then

21 at midnight
Your tombstone in hand
You fight so hard to give away for free
What you're gonna just want again
We're gonna just want again

And on this night in a border town
You'll wave goodbye to your father's son
And on this night in a drunken brawl
You'll say, "Hello" To your poor child's father

Who's 21at midnight
You act like a man
Look him in the eyes and say
What you just said to me then

21 at midnight
Your tombstone in hand
You fight so hard to give away for free
What you're gonna just want again
We're gonna just want again
