[Verse 1]
You wake up everyday lonely in your head
You blame your father's habit as to why you always see red
You've not yet looked misery in the eye yet, my friend
Too much trouble at home, you're sleeping rough again
[Pre-Chorus]
Down where that dirty water breaks
A free wind flies
[Chorus]
How can they be so sure you ain't got no future?
Maybe you could turn it around, maybe you could change
But no matter what you do, it always ends the same
[Verse 2]
Because you're young, you don't know about death
A heavy scent of regret lingers on your breath
[Pre-Chorus]
Down where that dirty water breaks
A free wind flies
[Chorus]
How can they be so sure you ain't got no future?
Maybe you could turn it around, maybe you could change
But no matter what you do, it always ends the same
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
How can they be so sure you ain't got no future?
Maybe you could turn it around, maybe you could change
But no matter what you do, it always ends the same
[Outro]
You ain't got no future, so why do they care?
You ain't got no future, so why do they care?
You ain't got no future, so why do they care?
You ain't got no future, so why do they care?

Charlie Manning Walker:
When you 17 you have no idea about life, you just exist. This song is romanticizing that uncertainty. You make so many mistakes and you have no idea that your doing them.
