Trenches

[Verse 1]

1987, 18 at a 7-11

Police out looking for problems

But I'm no average hoodlum

Still running from the pigs so it seems to me

This is not the land of love and liberty

It's more like a waiting room in hell

Drink a quart and watch me dwell

[Chorus]

I got it right

Out in the trenches tonight

I got it right

Out in the trenches tonight

[Verse 2]

Glass towers rise above the filth and the pain

I'm a moral degenerate, feel my pain

Passed out in a squat on Mission

That night I was shocked into submission

Straight down, straight down to hell I head

Systems of sewers is where I lay my head

People on their way are like on a different dimension

I need no correction

[Chorus]

I got it right

Out in the trenches tonight

I got it right

Out in the trenches tonight

[Bridge]

Some of my friends moved on a simple domestic life

They're all gone, only a few of us remain

Only few of us want to keep in the same

Want to keep it the same, yeah

[Chorus]

I got it right

Out in the trenches tonight

I got it right

Out in the trenches tonight
