Young Offender Lyrics by Pet Shop Boys

Young Offender Lyrics

    You may be broke now, and you may be bored
    Call you delinquent or leave you ignored
    You'll get what you want

    Drive to distraction, crash on the way
    Watch your reaction, wait 'til you say
    You'll get what you want
    It hurts if you can't

    Young offender, what's your defense?
    You're younger than me, obviously
    Young offender, why the pretense?
    You don't agree, I know, I know

    I'll do what you want if you want me enough
    I'll put down my book and start falling in love
    Or isn't that done?

    How graceful your movements, how bitter your scorn
    I've been a teenager since before you were born
    And I'm younger than some
    I've only begun

    Young offender, what's your defense?
    You're younger than me, obviously

    When I get in your way, or open your eyes?
    Who will give whom the bigger surprise?

    Is there fire in your eyes, or the glow of machines?
    Watch how your fingers thumb over the keys
    So sure what you do
    I haven't a clue

    Young offender, what's your defense?
    You're younger than me, obviously
    Young offender, how you resent
    The lovers you need, it hurts when they bleed
    Young offender, why the pretense?
    You don't agree, I know, I know
