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 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      [spoken]JOHNNY RIOUX TELL THEM YOUR STORY[spoken]      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 jacket 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 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      [spoken] THIS ONE IS FOR THE WORKING MIDDLE CLASS[/spoken]      Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting   Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting, always fighting, 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 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
