Adrenalin Lyrics - New Model Army

We were in the corner, the Clanduff by the door 

On opposite sides of the dance hall, staring across the floor 

The lights go out, the fists fly in, it's the usual Friday scene 

Because adrenalin is the strongest drug that there has ever been 

There's this funny little bloke asking all these questions writing down what we say 

So we wound him up like a clockwork dog and we watched him trotting away 

Two weeks later there's a feature in the paper called 'Britain's Urban Shame' 

It's got the teenage thugs of the new estates with our photographs and names 

So we cut our hair to prove it 

And we wore the clothes to prove it 

And we armed ourselves to prove it 

And we chose our place to prove it 

And we danced that way to prove it 

And we made ourselves believe it 

Until all the world believed it 

Until even you believed it 

And I was just a little part but I felt the wheels turning 

And these are all just little flames but the whole damn city's burning 

Now that we were famous they watched everything that we did 

We were the villains of the neighbourhood, heroes to all the kids 

And even when that old bloke died we pretended that nothing was changed 

We just broke the silence with some stupid song and went on with the stupid game 

So we cut our hair to prove it 

And we wore the clothes to prove it 

And we armed ourselves to prove it 

And we chose our place to prove it 

And we danced that way to prove it 

And we made ourselves believe it 

Until all the world believed it 

Until even you believed it
