It could happen to you,

A defect from the wasted outskirts of los angeles

With a crumpled-up pass for the rtd

And no authority or trajectory

On the brink of insanity

Youd better believe it Because its written all over your face

Just a neighborhood reject,

Out of step and out of place

Youd better believe it Would you ever have thought

Persistence could prevail

Against the almost

Unbearable weight of the system?

With nothing better to do,

And no one else who you can look up to Youd better believe it Because its written all over your face

A political defect,

Out of step and out of place

Youd better believe it And the future is bright

When ideas run astray

So turn out the light,

A punk cant have a say

Sometimes desire is all thats there

Who said life was fair?
