Down the Drain* Songtext / Lyric

My mother was a b-girl

My old man was a tramp

Some folks say they conceived me

On a loading ramp



I was only fourteen

Took to petty crime

Stole from supermarkets

With this girl of mine



Now I'm nearly twenty

Sick in heart and brain

Haven't got the courage

My life is down the drain, down the drain

Down the drain, down the drain






No roots, no home, no country

No hope, no faith, no luck

If there's a God in Heaven

Well, He doesn't give me bucks



No self-respect, no honor

No family, no cash

No church and no religion

I'm only human trash



Now I'm nearly twenty

Sick in heart and brain

Haven't got the courage

My life is down the drain, down the drain

Down the drain, down the drain



Now I'm nearly twenty

Sick in heart and brain

Haven't got the courage

My life is down the drain, down the drain



Down the drain, down the drain

Down the drain, down the drain

Down the drain, down the drain
