In the gutter too many tortured faces
Desperate lives that leave no traces
In the gutter hope fades away
In the gutter and other good places
Woke this morning didn't die last
Keeping busy trying to survive
Hop in the dumpster scavenging today
Through the broken glass and tin cans thrown away
In the gutter too many tortured faces
Desperate lives that leave no traces
In the gutter hope fades away
In the gutter and other good places
World passes you by where you used to belong
Musical economy plays a sad sad song
Day turns to night, drowning in your drink
If your family could see you now, what would they think?
In the gutter too many tortured faces
Desperate lives that leave no traces
In the gutter hope fades away
In the gutter and other good places
What progress is made
In this prosperity
The least among us
Aren't welcome in this city
In the gutter too many tortured faces
Desperate lives that leave no traces
In the gutter hope fades away
