Iâm in exile
I been livinâ in exile
I been hanginâ on the corner, starinâ at the night sky,
and watchinâ the cars drive by
Their faces stare but they donât see me as I think about the past an I wonder why,
I wonder why
A side of life theyâll never see has passed before my jaded eyes
Iâm on the outside lookinâ in
I hold the burning tears inside my heart
I been runninâ, I been runninâ with the hunted, I been runninâ for my whole life
Iâm in exile
And I got nothinâ but a hope inside, in my heart where hope has died
I been livinâ in exile
Tears and pain like a stinging rain, have passed before my eyes
Iâm in exile
Forsaken!
Forgotten!
If you havenât been there then youâll never understand
Iâve stolen, Iâve lied, Iâve traded my pride,
âcause I never had a helping hand
Theyâll steal your innocence and theyâll take away your soul
Iâve stolen, Iâve lied and there were times when there wasnât anyplace to go
So letâs go!
I been runninâ, I been runninâ with the hunted,
I been runninâ for my whole life
Iâm in exile
And I got nothinâ but a hope inside,
in my heart where hope has died
I been livinâ in exile
Tears and pain like a stinging rain,
have passed before my eyes
Iâm 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
Theyâll 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
Thereâs gotta be something more than this
Thereâs gotta be something that I missed
Iâm in exile
I been runninâ, I been runninâ with the hunted, I been runninâ for my whole life
Iâm in exile
And I got nothinâ but a hope inside, in my heart where hope has died
I been livinâ in exile
Tears and pain like a stinging rain, have passed before my eyes
Iâm 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
