Lyric Nothing To Lose

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
