This song is about our friend Matt Macy, who helped found the band, and was the original bassist.
lyrics
He knows what it means
What it means, to walk streets
feels unwanted
He knows what it means
to walk streets, same streets, feel so haunted
He knows what it means
have his dreams taken from him
He knows what it means to be
Exile..Exile..Exile
Thoughts on trial
Exile..Exile..Exile
Case on file
He knows what it means
To lose faith in the world around him
He knows what it means to lose faith in in all its value
He knows what it means
When they say this is whats best for you..He knows what it means to be..
Exile..Exile..Exile
Future on trial
Exile..Exile..Exile
With the rank and file
Exile..Exile..Exile
Your future on trial
Exile..Exile..Exile
Dont let them win the fight man
