Intro: Got a half pack of cigarettes Forty dollars to my name A box full of old cassettes Of all the songs I can't forget I borrowed all I could, I'll take the rest I'll make up my own rules to break success Yeah, there's no better time to run away If tomorrow never comes, I'm here today. 'Cause I was eighteen with a stupid dream You told me, don't believe but I know better I'm ready more than ever now. Eighteen with too much self esteem You told me, don't believe but I know better E ---- I'm ready more than ever now. (x2) Stumbled into Hollywood It's snowing with the cocaine No one's up to any good So I'm a find my own way I borrowed all I could, I'll take the rest I'll make up my own rules to break success Yeah, there's no better time to run away If tomorrow never comes, I'm here today. 'Cause I was eighteen with a stupid dream You told me, don't believe but I know better I'm ready more than ever now. Eighteen with too much self esteem You told me, don't believe but I know better I'm ready more than ever now. I might have nothing but I want it all Something I made, something to call my own You say I'm trippin', but I know it's real. I'm gonna get it, beg, borrow, or steal. 'Cause I was eighteen with a stupid dream You told me, don't believe but I know better I'm ready more than ever now. Eighteen with a stupid dream You told me, don't believe but I know better I'm ready more than ever now. Eighteen with too much self esteem You told me, don't believe but I know better I'm ready more than ever now.
