Not Without A Purpose

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

I've got three tales to tell you so please sit tight

It's the story of three underdogs who've grown to see their light

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

Been away for far too long, you're on my mind

Got your picture and I stare at it all the time

Minutes turn to hours, hours into days

And as each one passes by it feels all the same

But the lights they go dark, Man In Black on the P. A

Walk up the stairs as one again to decimate the stage

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights

If we keep our act together we might make another night

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

Hey, I was always just another average kid

Looking up to the Pistols, idolizing Sid

I guess my parents never really felt the same

Spikes and leather jackets hurt my family name

Now I'm on the streets, now I've been locked out

Friends and punk rock music were the only way out

Started as a firm believer, now I own my doubts

As it's pretty clear a civil war has broken out

A Southie iron worker leaving work behind

As W. M. D. Propaganda warped my fragile mind

But now I've lived the truth, my eyes are open wide

E. T. S. To Boston leave an oil war behind

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

Another poor kid caught up in a fire fight

I don't believe in Jesus but I pray to God tonight

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting

Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting

Been away for far too long, you're on my mind

Got your picture and I stare at it all the time

Minutes turn to hours, hours into days

And as each one passes by it feels all the same

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights

If we keep our act together we might make another night

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights

If we keep our act together we might make another night

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

Not without a purpose, not without a fight
