Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Show me them now
Those wild little boys
The ones spelled trouble
And stole all their toys
Young boys with contempt
Dreams and schemes in their eyes
Strong, rich in spirit
Milk stains on their ties
[Verse 2]
Little while later
The first ones to smoke
I stood there in awe
Laughin' loud at their jokes
Tinny transistors Hong Kong made
This weeks parade
If they accept me, I'd give anything
[Verse 3]
Show me them now
Let me look and see
How they've grown up now
Show me them now
Let me look and see
How they've grown up now
[Verse 4]
Stolen wristwatches and some big studded rings
A ton of good girls and all that kind of thing
They just have something, you know what I mean
The wisdom and style, like I've never seen
Oh, help me get older
Pulled me through each bad phase
Show me them now, those boys from those days
[Verse 5]
Show me them now
Let me look and see
How they've grown up now
Show me them now
Let me look and see
How they've grown up now
Show me them now
Let me look and see
How they've grown up now
Show me them now
[Verse 6]
Show me now, show me now
Show me now, show me, show me now, show me
[Verse 7]
Show me now
Now, now, now, now, now, now
This is punk rock part two, show me
Show me, show me now, now
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me
