Vandals - Get In Line lyrics

He's running wild through the streets at night

But he's hiding in the shadows by the break of day

He's got a clip-on Spyderco knife

But it's just for keeping the wolves at bay

It's 2am, fucked up again

He's living in the bottle cause he's living with the pain

Insane, poking his veins, he's standing in the rain

With nothing to lose but everything to gain

Unwanted and unforgiving

He's tired of fighting and he's tired of living here

Swigging beer with nothin' to fear

He's got nothing to lose so he's always winning

He's suffocating, the pain can be excruciating

And liberating, it helps him forget the worlds he's hating

And now he's waiting, there won't be any negotiating

He's got nothing to lose

He's been beaten and he's been bruised

He ain't taking anymore of your abuse

He's had enough of their institutions

And all the rules he was told to obey

They offered him no solutions

So he hit the street before they put him away

In a deprogramming youth care center

To rid him of his insubordinate ways

"You know that boy ain't right" is what you hear his parents say

down on the world and down on his luck

he's got nothing to lose so he don't give a fuck

about shit taking risks in the street throwing bricks

he's got nothing to lose but you've drove him to this

trying hard to forget the past

he's sleeping under the overpass

of 1-95 just trying to survive

just waiting for the moon to arise
