You're down out now you rock bottown down the line
They pester on you and your foes are doing fine
The boss gripes about you he critizises your attitude
Tearing you of a strip now his behavior's kinda rude.

World's turning black now
'cause you're down on your luck.

Down to the wire you're falling you're falling
Down to the wire to zero and below
You're down to the wire.

Oh you're down and out.

Parents on a campaign they wanna bring you into line
Change right who you are and everything will be fine
Political correctness for grovellers all the way
Intimidation as a weapon but don't fear to have your say.

World's turning black now
'cause you're down on your luck.

Down to the wire you're falling you're falling
Down to the wire to zero and below
You're down to the wire.

The world is going crazy indifference's marching up
Drumbeats of a new world and goofballs doing the hop
Freedom's on the lose now personality fades away
Monotony and correspondence all colors turn to grey.

World's turning black now
'cause you're down on your luck.

Down to the wire you're falling you're falling
Down to the wire to zero and below
Down to the wire you're falling you're falling
Down to the wire to zero and below
You're down to the wire.

Oh you're down and out
Oh you're down and out out.
