"Livin' In Exile"

LIVING IN EXILE

This one here is for all the outcasts
outsider and outlaws out there tonight
its going out to everybody whose ever been
locked up and held down and kicked around
its going out to all the white trash out there
all the wasted youth
everybody that's felt like they never had a chance,
the world we live in is going straight to hell.
and fellas i know there's no where to turn
were all livin' in exile

(exile!)
(I've been living in exile!)

I've been hanging on the corner
starin' at the night sky
watchin' the cars drive by
some people stare but they don't see me
as I think about the past and I wonder (I wonder why!)
A side of life they'll never see
has passed before my jaded eyes
I'm on the outside lookin' in
I hold the burnin' tears inside my eyes

I been runnin', I been runnin' with the hunted
I been runnin' for my whole life (I'm in exile!)
And I got nothin' but a hope inside
in my heart where all hope has died (I been livin' in exile!)
Tears and pain like a stinging rain
have passed before my eyes (I'm in exile!)
Forsaken! Forgotton! If you haven't been there
then you'll never understand

I've stolen, I've lied
I've traded my pride 'cuz I never had a helping hand
They'll steal your innocence and take away your soul
I've stolen, I've lied through a time when there wasn't any place to go.
(So let's go!)

I been runnin', I been runnin' with the hunted,
I been runnin' for my whole life (I'm in exile!)
And I got nothin' but a hope inside
in my heart where hope has died (I been livin' in exile)
Tears and pain like a stinging rain
have passed before my eyes (I'm in exile!)

How many tears have our mothers cried? (exile!)
How many of my kind have died? (exile!)
So I stand here to spit in your eyes
tell you your society is nothing but lies
They lock us up and they hold us down
another wasted youth, another dead end town
I been waiting so long, I been waiting so long
I been waiting so long now my hope is gone

There's gotta be something more than this (exile!)
There's gotta be something better than this (exile!)

I been runnin', I been runnin' with the hunted
I been runnin' for my whole life (I'm in exile!)
And I got nothin' but a hope inside
in my heart where hope has died (I been livin' in exile)
Tears and pain like a stinging rain
have passed before my eyes (I'm in exile!)

How many tears have they torn from my eyes (exile!)
How many times will we be denied
They lock us up and they hold us down
another wasted youth, another dead end town
I been waiting so long, I been waiting so long
I been waiting so long now my hope is... gone!
