It just isn't what you do - that - leads you where you are Excuses I have heard - over - from you If you really would you - might just have a chance If you really could - you - might just have a hope Your life - your song - isn't worth a damn So go - escape - do the best you can
This place looks so familiar, you've been here before Every little brick you know, you're back once more Struggling hard to keep away, from this your private hell Knowing it's no use to try, escaping from this spell
All through the years, fighting to survive Find yourself a manhole, and breathe to stay alive All things that you could have done, pounding in your head Now you're back where you belong, wishin' you were dead
All you want is to stay away All you get are glints of the past You know from this smell of decay You know that you're back in the trash
And when the night comes, the gutter is your bed And when the sun shines, you'll try to hide your head There's just no help here, no one looks your way There ain't no welfare, the question is: Will you survive the day?
You just can't ignore the fact, that you are sinkin' slow Everyone around you can see you've lost the glow There's no point in actin', you can't hide it anymore You're vulnerable to eyes, they look at you and you feel sore
