[Intro]
Come on!

[Verse 1]
It could happen to you, a defect
From the wasted outskirts of Los Angeles
With a crumpled-up pass for the RTD
And no authority
Or trajectory on the brink of insanity

[Chorus]
Yeah, you'd better believe it
'Cause it's written all over your face
Just a neighborhood reject
Out of step and out of place
You'd better believe it

[Verse 2]
Would you ever have thought persistence
Could prevail against the almost unbearable weight of the system?
With nothing better to do
And no one else who you can look up to

[Chorus]
Yeah, you'd better believe it
'Cause it's written all over your face
A political defect
Out of step and out of place
You'd better believe it
[Bridge]
And the future is bright when ideas run astray
So turn out the light, a punk can't have a say
Sometimes desire is all that's there
Who said life was fair? (Better believe it)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, you'd better believe it
Because it's written all over your face
Just a neighborhood reject
Out of step and out of place
You'd better believe it
You gotta believe it
'Cause it's written all over your face
A political defect
Out of step and out of place
You'd better believe it
You gotta believe it
It's written all over your face
A subcultural reject
Out of step and out of place
You'd better believe it
You'd better believe it
