Believe It
BRETT GUREWITZ, BRETT W. GUREWITZ, GREG GRAFFIN
It could happen to you,
A defect from the
Wasted outskirts of Los Angeles
With a crumpled-up pass for the RTD
And no authority or trajectory
On the brink of insanity
You'd better believe it
Because it's written all over your face
Just a neighborhood reject,
Out of step and out of place
You'd better believe it
Would you ever have thought
Persistence could prevail
Against the almost
Unbearable weight of the system?
With nothing better to do,
And no one else who you can look up to
You'd better believe it
Because it's written all over your face
A political defect,
Out of step and out of place
You'd better believe it
And the future is bright
When ideas run astray
So turn out the light,
A punk can't have a say
Sometimes desire is all that's there
Who said life was fair?
