Lyrics

The way things happen
You know the way things are
Late one night
People gather
know each other
start a fight
there was a knife
in some dude's hand
how it happened...can you understand?


things they happen so fast
when you fall in with the wrong crowd


She said
"do you love me?
then put it to the test
can't you see I'm not like all the rest
if you love me then
have a little taste
it'd be a crying shame to let it go to waste

things they happen so fast
when you fall in with the wrong crowd

some local kid
he's in trouble
you see it all the time
says it's not his fault
luck was against him from the start
blighted his young senses
hardened and blackened his tender heart
never got a break
all he ever needed
"all i ever needed, man, was just for once
an even shake"
now he's fallen in with the wrong crowd

things they happen so fast
when you fall in with the wrong crowd
