I was angry .... full of beans Essentially just A n-n-n-n-nervous kid It was the year of care for kids They even made a campaign song I used to sing it as I entered the room Before light switched on Just In case my lone abductor Would respond to the message within I was eager to learn Full of sunburn Essentially just A n-n-n-n-nervous kid So I made a pact with the silence If you get me out of this one I'll be true to what I was born to do and be a Roustabout, roustabout Yeah a Roustabout It was the year of gettin' loose It was the year that my head broke Clueless and free in the ACT My mind buckled its spokes My pulse was like a hummingbird I cried til it returned I want to grab that son Show him i won Shit you're just A n-n-n-n-nervous kid So I made a pact with the silence If you get me out of this one I'll be true to what I was born to do and be a Roustabout (a roustabout) Be a Roustabout (a roustabout) Be a Roustabout.. It ain't easy... Go!
