Strung Out Monster lyrics

Strung Out
Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues
Monster
Time it makes you old,
experience makes you wise.
And it's only a fool who judges life by
what he sees in other people's eyes.
The decisions that you cast
affect the outcome of your game
and the only person who's gonna think about you
is the one that's standin' in your shoes
Live by the sword , die by the sword,
I'm a weapon of my set.
The only family that I've ever known
Is the gun that's by my side.
Little big man, he's not alone now,
he's all grown up, his story's
written all along these city walls.
Found unity,
he's gained a brotherhood
as they gather to beat you down,
the fists reign hard,
the fightin' never stops.
There's no mercy in this town
And I don't know when
it's gonna' end for me,
this side of town is all I know
it's all I see
If I go on like this
I'm gonna' end it all one day,
it's my destiny

it's my reality,
it's society.
I wear colors proud
but don't stare me down
I've got a million scars
to prove my pain
You think you know who I am
try walking a mile in my shoes.
Quick on the draw
never walk alone
know your enemy
never be afraid,
it's what they always say
Till they come around for you.
Ghetto birds light the evening sky
as the sun begins to fall
Another night he'll spend in this jungle
with his back up against the wall.

Little big man, he's not alone now,
he's all grown up, his story's
written all along these city walls.
Quick on the draw
never walk alone
know your enemy
never be afraid,
it's what they always say
Till they come around for you.
