lyrics

Forgotten friends and worn out trends
Sitting around, waiting for it all to end
All I really need is a chance to get away
Away, away

I don't know what I'm gonna do
I just know that I'll end up screwed
Will I ever be able to break away
Away, away

Why should I try when I'll only lose
Spending my time in a bottle of booze
Hoping someday, maybe, I will find my way
My way, my way

Wandering around alone at night
Hiding in the shadows from the street lights
All I've done is smoke my life away
Away, away

We hear sirens in the night
We are sirens under street lights
Here they come again to ruin our day
Our day, our day

Ain't no skatin' when the 5-0 comes
Sirens warn they're heading our way
Ain't no skatin' when the 5-0 comes
And they always ruin our fun
Any time the 5-0 comes our way

Wonderin' this time when they'll come
Worryin' all night and day
Ain't no skatin' when the 5-0 comes
And this spot just ain't our own
Any time the 5-0 comes our way

We got nowhere to go, nowhere to go, nowhere to go

Hey, you oughtta leave us skaters alone
Ain't no skatin' when the 5-0 comes

Ain't no skatin' when the 5-0 comes
Go ruin someone else's day
Ain't no skatin' when the 5-0 comes
But I'll still skate all night

Any time the 5-0 comes our way

We hear sirens in the night
We are sirens under street lights
Here they come again to ruin our day
Our day, our day
