Lyrics Prodigal Pete - Rachid

Left a good home
Suburban drone
Had to fulfill some dreams of my own
Dancing in bars
Sleeping in cars
One day I will be a superstar

On these mean streets
I feel so cheap
I've had to trick for all of my treats
City of swine
The cruelest kind
Dear mom and dad I'm doing just fine

I won't let you down
I'll make you proud
I won't let you down
I'll make you proud

Get on the bed
That's what they said
You've got to give head to get ahead

The more they spit
The more I'll shine
Dear mom and dad I'm doing just fine

I won't let you down
I'll make you proud
I won't let you down
I'll make you proud

I'm here on my own
Although, I could really use a friend
Who wouldn't betray me and forgive my daily sin

I won't go back home
I'll make it alone
I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna shine

I won't let you down
I'll make you proud
(I'm going to make you so
Very proud of me)
I won't let you down
I'll make you proud

My star is on the rise, I'm gonna shine
My star is on the rise, I'm gonna shine
