No one ever told you just how to live your life
you're taking out your anger with a pistol or a knife
sterotype people by the color of their skin
can't confront the demons that always dwell within
all the hatred and the violence will it ever change?
I think that change will happen when the judge calls out your name
take a look around, will it ever stop
I hope you learn your lesson before your body drops

CHORUS:
get out while you can, it wont last long
no one will remember you when you're gone
get out while you can, said this is true
it's no excuse to say you got nothin to do

Take what you want like you always do
make a lot of promises but never follow through
is this what you wanted, livin on the street?
don't you want to turn around and get back on your feet?
they say they are your family and you're the one who's down
but they just take off running as your body hits the ground
this is what you wanted and I hope you are happy
it might have done some good if you had just listened to me

CHORUS
