Pink Leather Jackets - Sixteen Forties

Sixteen and drinking forties
Nothing out of the ordinary
It's all been done before me
I'll make a way
Jake got kicked out, out of school
For selling drugs, and being a tool
I told him to run but he didn't bother
The cops put the cuffs on him at his locker
Jake's mom broke out in tears
His dad was a drunk and disappeared
His little sister got so stoned
I saw her by the river she was drinking alone, singing
Sixteen and drinkin' forties
Nothing out of the ordinary
It's all been done before me
I'll make a way
MG, seventeen working a job
Falling in love with the local punk rock
Sneaking into bars with a smile and tight shirt
Talking to the bands and taking their picture
Well she said she's getting out of here
Dropping out of school for a new career
She's come so far she's got nothing to fear
From where she was this time last year
Sixteen and drinkin forties
Nothing out of the ordinary
It's all been done before me
I'll make a way
Four sixteen in the morning
Trippin' down the road all drunk and horny
It's all been done before me
I'll waste away
Let me escape, the ordinary
Stuck in a place, that's so fucking boring
Get me away, my mind is unsanitary
I don't wanna be, another small town casualty
Sixteen and drinking forties
Nothing out of the ordinary
It's all been done before me
I'll make a way
Four sixteen in the morning
Trippin' down the road all drunk and horny
It's all been done before me
I'll waste away
Sixteen
Forties
For Me
Well I'll make a way
Sixteen
Mourning
For me
Well I'll waste away
