Blood For Blood - Livin' In Exile lyrics

rate me

I'm in exile

I been livin' in exile

I been hangin' on the corner, starin' at the night sky,

and watchin' the cars drive by

Their faces stare but they don't see me as I think about the past an I wonder why,

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 burning tears inside my heart

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

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 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 motherscried?

How many of my kind have died?

So I stand here to spit in your eye

and tell you your society is nothing but lies

They'll look us up and hold us down,

just another wasted youth, another dead end town

I been waiting so long

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 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?

How many times will we be denied?

They lock us up and they hold us down,

just another wasted youth, another dead end town

I been waiting so long

I been waitning now my hope is... gone
