The Lyrics
A song for all those who had trouble with mall security guards for no reason at all. I'm sure it's happened to at least SOMEONE out there.
Chorus:
Sellers, guards, and policemen's guns
Aim to take away our fun
But all young men must stand up to
The people's paranoia
On a sunny day in August
Take a trip to Gurnee Mills
Walking scared of being stopped by
Guards for holding dollar bills
Weird suspicion of the money
Being for some crack cocaine
Not believing you're a shopper
Just to buy computer games
Chorus
Browsing at the diamond jewelry
Shouldn't be a crime at all
Being young just means you're guilty
Even at the Gurnee Mall
'Round the world the truth will come out
Honest kids just mind themselves
Young ones' trust is never gotten
We are all just out for thrills
Chorus
Proudly march up to their faces
Proudly march to take a stand
We will prove to all the people
We're not thieves, we're nice young men
Younger kids have fun together
Honest ones go on their way
Never dealing, never robbing
When we're done, we're home to stay.
Chorus
Sellers, guards, and policemen's guns
Aim to take away our fun
But all young men must stand up to
The people's paranoia
On a sunny day in August
Take a trip to Gurnee Mills
Walking scared of being stopped by
Guards for holding dollar bills
Weird suspicion of the money
Being for some crack cocaine
Not believing you're a shopper
Just to buy computer games
Chorus
Browsing at the diamond jewelry
Shouldn't be a crime at all
Being young just means you're guilty
Even at the Gurnee Mall
'Round the world the truth will come out
Honest kids just mind themselves
Young ones' trust is never gotten
We are all just out for thrills
Chorus
Proudly march up to their faces
Proudly march to take a stand
We will prove to all the people
We're not thieves, we're nice young men
Younger kids have fun together
Honest ones go on their way
Never dealing, never robbing
When we're done, we're home to stay.
Chorus
