Trenches Lyrics - Rancid (1993) - Rancid

1987 at a 7-11 

police out looking for problems 

but im no average hoodlum 

still running from the pigs so it seems to me 

this is not the land of love and liberty 

its more like a waiting room in hell 

drink a qwart and watch me dwell 

i got it right out in the trenches tonight 

glass towers rise above the filth and the pain 

im a moral degenerate feel my pain 

pass out in a squat on mission 

that night i was shocked into submission 

straight down straight down to hell i head 

systems of sewers is where i lay my head 

people on their way are like on a different dimension 

i need no correction 

i got it right out in the trenches tonight 

some of my friends moved on a simple domestic life 

they're all gone only a few of us remain 

only few of us want to keep in the same 

i got it right out in the trenches tonight
