Lyrics

The Gutter

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Nothing particular we want

We just get by with what we've got

And we never have very much

We find it hard to get upset

It's so much easier to forget

There's more than one way to get over it

Another day, another drink

We sit here, learning not to think

And we will never be very much

Well, life is short, so why pretend?

We'll never see this day again

So we choose, we chose another way

[Pre-Chorus]

We choose...

[Chorus]

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

[Verse 2]

It's unimportant if we shine

It doesn't matter if we die

'Cause it will all just disappear

Another word, a clever line

It all just disappears in time

We could do anything, anywhere

Another day, another deal

We sit here learning not to feel

And so we never feel very much

Well, life is short, so why pretend?

We'll never see this day again

So we choose, we chose the other way

[Pre-Chorus]

We choose...

[Chorus]

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!

Down!
