At 17 Lyrics - Singles - Brian Kirk And The Jirks

At 17 my mother's screams at night could wake the dead 

Four days this week I didn't make the bed 

What's important to you now is something we don't share 

Can you learn to fear when your already scared? 

I'm lining up defenseless for a war that's never won 

Some things are easy for some 

I'm looking at the road again, the futures lined and neat 

Required college courses on a sheet 

But there is no choice for you, while your 

father pays the fee 

So register into your destiny... 

Then tell me what its like to be the one 

Some things are easy for some 

I'd end it all right now to know someone 

Give me a gun- some things are easy for some 

I haven't known the girl I know; I wonder what it's like 

To sleep with her on some romantic night 

With no football jacket to offer her 

And a face with cheeks this wide there was only one 

Way I was getting inside 

Spend time on my music and hope my looks 

Shell overcome but...some things are easy for some 

All the songs I wrote about her I never could get done 

Some things are easy for some
