Nothing To Lose - Against All Authority

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 Spydarco knife

But it’s just for keeping the wolves at bay

2 AM, fucked up again

He’s living with the bottle cause he’s living with the pain

Insane, poking veins he’s standing in the rain

He’s go nothing to lose and everything to gain

Unwanted, unforgiving

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

Swigging bear with nothing 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 world he’s hating

Now he’s waiting — and there won’t be any negotiating

He’s got nothing to lose, he’s been bloodied and he’s been bruised

He ain’t taking anymore abuse

He’s had enough of theirs institutions

And all the rules he was told to obey

They offered 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’ll hear his parents say

Down on the world and down on his luck

He’s got nothing to lose he don’t give a fuck about shit

Takin' risks in the street throwing bricks

With nothing to lose… you drove him to this

Trying hard to forget the past

He’s sleeping under the overpass

Of I-95 just trying to survive

Just waiting for the moon to arrive
