Standard (EADGBE)

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

 I've got three tales to tell you so please sit tight

 It's the story of three underdogs who've grown to see their light

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

(Verse)

Been away for far too long, you're on my mind

 Got your picture and I stare at it all the time

Minutes turn to hours, hours into days

 And as each one passes by it feels all the same

(Pre-chorus)

But the lights they go dark, Man In Black on the P.A.

Walk up the stairs as one again to decimate the stage

(Chorus)

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

 Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights

 If we keep our act together we might make another night

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

(Verse)

Hey, I was always just another average kid

 Looking up to the Pistols, idolizing Sid

I guess my parents never really felt the same

Spikes and leather jackets hurt my family name

(Pre-Chorus)

Now I'm on the streets, now I've been locked out

Friends and punk rock music were the only way out

(Verse)

 I started as a firm believer, now I own my doubts

 As it's pretty clear a civil war has broken out

A Southie iron worker leaving work behind

 As W.M.D. propaganda warped my fragile mind

(Pre-chorus)

But now I've lived the truth, my eyes are open wide

E.T.S. to Boston leave an oil war behind

(Chorus)

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

 Another poor kid caught up in a fire fight

I do believe in Jesus and I pray to God tonight

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

(Solo)

(Bridge)

Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting

Never give up, never give in, never walk away, always fighting

(Verse)

Been away for far too long, you're on my mind

 Got your picture and I stare at it all the time

Minutes turn to hours, hours into days

 And as each one passes by it feels all the same

(Chorus)

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

 Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights

 If we keep our act together we might make another night

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

Not without a purpose and it's not without a fight

 Our spirit lives forever blinded by the city lights

 If we keep our act together we might make another night

Not without a purpose, not without a fight

(Hold)

Not without a purpose not without a fight to the end
