Livin' In Exile

(album: Livin' In Exile - 1999)

Alright

This right here is going out to all you outcasts, outsiders and outlaws out there tonight
It's going out to everybody that's ever been locked out or held down or kicked around
It's going out to all the white trash out there. All the wasted youth
Everybody that ever felt like they never had a chance
The world we live in is going straight to hell
The fellows I know, there's no way to turn
We're all living in exile

I'm in exile
I been living in exile
I'm in exile
I been living in exile

I been hanging on the corner, staring at the night sky
Watching the cars drive by
Their faces stare but they don't see me
As I think about the past and I wonder why (I wonder why)
A side of life they'll never see
Has passed before my jaded eyes (My eyes!)
I'm on the outside looking in
I hold the burning tears inside my heart

I been running, I been running with the hunted, I been running for my whole life
I'm in exile
And I got nothing but a hope inside, in my heart where hope has died
I been living in exile
Tears and pain like a stinging rain, have passed before my eyes
I'm in exile
I been running, I been running with the hunted, I been running for my whole life
I been living in exile

Forsaken, forgotten
If you haven't been there then you'll never understand
I've stolen, I've lied, I've traded my pride
'Cause I never had a helping hand
They'll steal your innocence
And they'll take away your soul
I've stolen, I've lied and there were times
When there wasn't anyplace to go
So let's go!

I been running, I been running with the hunted, I been running for my whole life
I'm in exile
And I got nothing but a hope inside, in my heart where hope has died
I been living in exile
Tears and pain like a stinging rain, have passed before my eyes
I'm in exile
I been running, I been running with the hunted, I been running for my whole life
I been living in exile

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

There's gotta be something more than this
There's gotta be something that I missed

I'm in exile, I'm in exile (There's gotta be something more than this)
I'm in exile, I'm in exile
I'm in exile, I'm in exile (There's gotta be something more than this)
I'm in exile, I'm in exile
I'm in exile, I'm in exile (There's gotta be something more than this)
I'm in exile, I'm in exile
Yeah! I've been living in exile

I been running, I been running with the hunted, I been running for my whole life
I'm in exile
And I got nothing but a hope inside, in my heart where hope has died
I been living in exile
Tears and pain like a stinging rain, have passed before my eyes
I'm in exile
I been running, I been running with the hunted, I been running for my whole life
I been living in exile

How many tears have they torn from my eyes? (Outside)
How many times will we be denied? (Exile)
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 now my hope is... gone

1...2... 1 2 3 4!

Outside!
