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 |
