Lyrics Die Toten Hosen – I’m An Upstart

We don’t need to be clever to learn your lies
We only have to listen, open up our eyes
Try to be honest, get kicked in the face
But if you cheat — another rat in the race

I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do
I’m an upstart, listen
I’m talking to you
I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do
I’m an upstart, listen
I’m talking to you

Seek out an identity
You alienate society
Face the facts, why not admit it
How can you be outrageous when your mother won’t allow it?

I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do
I’m an upstart, listen
I’m talking to you
I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do
I’m an upstart, listen
I’m talking to you

I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do
I’m an upstart, listen
I’m talking to you
I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do

We don’t need to be clever to learn your lies
We only have to listen, open up our eyes
Try to be honest, get kicked in the face
But if you cheat — another rat in the race

I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do
I’m an upstart, listen
I’m talking to you
I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do
I’m an upstart, listen
I’m talking to you
I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do
I’m an upstart, listen
I’m talking to you
I’m an upstart, hey
Whatcha gonna do
I’m an upstart, listen
I’m talking to you
