The wretched refuse huddle round
They don't look up, cause they're going down
Going down, going down slow
You never thought it would be like this
You thought that you could handle the risk
But you kept on making the same mistake
Guess a habit is a hard thing to break
Going down, going down slow
Going down slow
So you found life a little too hard
And you ended up in the junkyard
Skin and bone, vacant stare
Too many others like you there
In the junkyard
Hanging out, hanging around
Waiting for the man to come round
Going down, going down slow
Rats and garbage at your feet
Gangs and weirdos on the street
You said you could quit, when you wanted to
Now look what you've turned into
Going down, going down slow
Going down slow
So you found life a little too hard
And you ended up in the junkyard
Skin and bone, vacant stare
Too many others like you there
In the junkyard
Going down, going down slow
Going down, going down slow
In the words of Billie Holliday
Drugs just kill you the slow hard way
