No one ever told you just how to live your life   you're taking out your anger with a pistol or a knife   sterotype people by the color of their skin   can't confront the demons that always dwell within   all the hatred and the violence will it ever change?   I think that change will happen when the judge calls out your name   take a look around, will it ever stop   I hope you learn your lesson before your body drops      CHORUS:   get out while you can, it wont last long   no one will remember you when you're gone   get out while you can, said this is true   it's no excuse to say you got nothin to do      Take what you want like you always do   make a lot of promises but never follow through   is this what you wanted, livin on the street?   don't you want to turn around and get back on your feet?   they say they are your family and you're the one who's down   but they just take off running as your body hits the ground   this is what you wanted and I hope you are happy   it might have done some good if you had just listened to me      CHORUS
