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
