Out of step and out of place
Just a neighborhood reject
As a cultural reject
Out of step and out of place
You better believe it
It could happen to you
You gotta believe it
Would you ever have thought, persistence
You better believe it
Sometimes desire is all that's there
Who said life was fair? Better believe it
On the brink of insanity
And no authority or trajectory
A punk can't have a say
'Cause it's written all over your face
'Cause it's written all over your face
Yeah, you better believe it
You better believe it
You better believe it
Unbearable weights of the system?
And no one else who you can look up to
Out of step and out of place
When ideas run astray
Out of step and out of place
'Cause it's written all over your face
You better believe it
A political defect
Yeah, you better believe it
Just a neighborhood reject
You gotta believe it
Yeah, you better believe it
You better believe it
Could prevail against the almost
A political defect
With a crumpled-up pass for the RTD
'Cause it's written all over your face
It's written all over your face
And the future is bright
A defect from the wasted outskirts of Los Angeles
With nothing better to do
Out of step and out of place
So turn out the light
