Another night when I drown myself in drink
I shut it out, so I don't have to think
Get in my car, go to the bar, get into a fight
Seems like I go through this almost every Friday night
I'll keep pushing on in a world that's far too gone
Standing up, standing proud and standing strong
Trapped in a violent world that tries to keep me down,
But I'll emerge with my feet firm on the ground
I lie awake at night trapped inside my mind
Life's paroled so many friends and I'm still doing time
Now it seems all I am, is all I'll ever be
Years go by and form the lines, and I'm stuck in between
I'll keep pushing on in a world that's far too gone
Standing up, standing proud and standing strong
Trapped in a violent world that tries to keep me down,
But I'll emerge with my feet firm on the ground
Sometimes I find it hard just to relax
There's nothing left out of my check after I pay my tax
My mind it bends at the ends I have to meet
When I see my friends good times again and we take it to the street
I'll keep pushing on in a world that's far too gone
Standing up, standing proud and standing strong
Trapped in a violent world that tries to keep me down,
But I'll emerge with my feet firm on the ground
I shut it out, so I don't have to think
Get in my car, go to the bar, get into a fight
Seems like I go through this almost every Friday night
I'll keep pushing on in a world that's far too gone
Standing up, standing proud and standing strong
Trapped in a violent world that tries to keep me down,
But I'll emerge with my feet firm on the ground
I lie awake at night trapped inside my mind
Life's paroled so many friends and I'm still doing time
Now it seems all I am, is all I'll ever be
Years go by and form the lines, and I'm stuck in between
I'll keep pushing on in a world that's far too gone
Standing up, standing proud and standing strong
Trapped in a violent world that tries to keep me down,
But I'll emerge with my feet firm on the ground
Sometimes I find it hard just to relax
There's nothing left out of my check after I pay my tax
My mind it bends at the ends I have to meet
When I see my friends good times again and we take it to the street
I'll keep pushing on in a world that's far too gone
Standing up, standing proud and standing strong
Trapped in a violent world that tries to keep me down,
But I'll emerge with my feet firm on the ground
