Jump The Gun Lyrics - Pretty Maids

You were raised up from the steam in the city 

Where your daddy dragged you 'round from place to place 

Now you're a grown-up, a cool guy looking pretty 

But the childhood had its mark upon your face 

Now you're the hungry one, you want it all 

And enough is not enough, you're always coming back for more 

When the race is on you roll the ball 

You found your heaven behind the backstage door 

You're all fed up 

With their parental domination 

Don't let them wear away your pride 

Cut the wire 

Jump the gun 

There is nothing that's holding you back 

Cross the fire 

Hit 'n' run 

You're forever unchained 

Jump the gun 

In another town, on another stage 

You've been cruising around, for at least a human age 

That rock'n'roll was your key to succeed 

Your restless soul 

Has taken off from the street 

So if you like it now 

You'll learn to love it later 

Stick to your dreams, and go ahead 

[Chorus] 

And now you're up to front 

A youth of desperation 

Go out and penetrate their minds 

You preach the words 

They put them out in circulation 

Get out, seek and find 

[Chorus]
