what the real kids know Video (MV)

My momma said kid, you're something contagious
There's life held in your twinkling eye
I broke her heart as the cracks of the pavement
Drove me off to find that Weddington high
Playing life like a game
Leave the rest where it lays
A goner and sharp kid
Nice catch and the hole in your pocket
One minute, admit it
Then beat off and buy lottery tickets
If I don't fear dying
But cry when I find that you're listening
Then something inside still
Hopes to learn
What the real kids know
I read some things about god up above
Now I feel more alone every night
In my dreams I see taxmen and saints out
Just giving it their best try
Playing life just the same
Finding someone to blame
A goner and sharp kid
Nice catch and the hole in your pocket
One minute, admit it
Then beat off and buy lottery tickets
If I don't fear dying
But cry when I find that you're listening
Then something inside still
Hopes to learn
What the real kids know
Where the sun is, the shadow is casted
Where the wave breaks, we ride till it crashes
Protagonists at the brink of disaster
Let me know if you find what we're after
And if it's some kind of game
Do the stars feel the same?
A goner and sharp kid
Nice catch and the hole in your pocket
One minute, admit it
Then beat off and buy lottery tickets
If I don't fear dying
But cry when I find that you're listening
Then something inside still
Hopes to learn
What the real kids know
