Verse 1
F#m
Stuck behind the eight ball of an antiquated system
                                A   Bm
You fell into the rhythm of the cage. 
F#m
Education failed you, and after that, they jailed you. 
                                       A   Bm
And now you're on your ass with bitter age. 
F#m
You can warm yourself with whiskey, warm yourself with gin
                                               A            Bm
sleep out on the church steps, but they're not gonna let you in. 
      F#m
Their savior was a failure when you're sleeping in the rain. 
                                   A             Bm
The pouring water passes like your life into the drain. 


Chorus x2
         A                    E
When the sun goes down on the west
     F#m                        D
In a cold cold world that we're lost in, 
          A
You'll be sleeping in the gutter,
     E                     F#m        D
Face down with the rats in Allston. 


Solo 1


Verse 2
F#m
Stuck in the clink, you'll wind up dead. At least you had a roof on your head. 
                                 A   Bm
A hot and a cot and a daily bread. 
F#m
Out on the streets, you don't have a name. You've cut all your ties, you're living in vain. 
                                A   Bm
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain. 
       F#m
You're begging for survival, you're begging for a buck,
                                        A              Bm
you're begging for a second chance, but nobody gives a f*#%. 
  F#m
Employment's not an option with a record and no skills. 
                                      A                   Bm
Stuck behind the eight ball, it's the system that had you killed.
