Another link in the chain getting rusty breaking Down in the gutter with a smile It's another case of finding your place Another number showing what it's made of But the sun sweeps the shadows from the concrete Morning comes and it's another day But the streets have voices, the walls have ears And they're never gonna go away On our feet is where we're gonna land (You can find me in the gutter) The gutter is the place where we will make our stand And with a smile on my face and a bottle in my hand You can find me in the gutter in the morning Here with the litter and the leaves we tremble Here's where our memories were made All the real life starts in the gutters and the bars Long after the light of day has faded Cause we just don't know how to take it we feel Cheated and excited and afraid As they all shake hands and draw their lines in the sand And forget about the mess they've made On our feet is where we're gonna land Placing the blame on the chain of command And with a smile on my face and a bottle in my hand You'll find me in the gutter in the morning They have been sighted, they have been indicted We have ignited, to break until they bend We will deny them, this will be our anthem We will defy them, til the bitter end Words, witnesses heard We know it's not that simple Their lies open our eyes Force us to rise irate The world isn't this small We know it's not that simple And the gutters give birth and we're filling the street And the city will shake with the sound of our feet And we'll sing our gutter anthem til the day we die Life goes on, the city fades away You can't see the fireworks by the light of day We're not on the payroll, we're just getting by But we'll sing our gutter anthem till we die, die, die We'll sing our gutter anthem till we die
