Now I know the truth about you
The lie you lived deceiving me
All the dreams you will destroy
And leave me lost and vulnerable.

Hush now baby don't you cry
Mother loves you only pressure heavy
on her mind
Every day brings one more debt
Nothing left to pay only tears and
sweat
Life goes down, down, down, down
Life goes down.

Life goes down, down, down, down
Life goes down
Why do you abuse your friend?
It's not her fault that you can't find a
means to an end
Can't you see it's working well,
The way they turn you against
yourself?
Life goes down, down, down, down
Life goes down
