Slowly I fall with the rain & the future looks grim once again Bottles and pills – I´m up on the hills Stuck with a ball and a chain This city is so obsolete – the drunks they f**k up on the streets But that´s the way it goes when you´re down in Västerås Sick of life ain´t that a treat Straight out of nowhere – it´s coming on fast I sit here and wonder how long will it last Some of my best friends are gone And the others don´t know where they belong So light up the sky – the beat must go on Raise my glass for the black river song And drink all my problems away Tomorrow is just another day Lonely & hammered at night and true love is way out of sight A broke working class will shove it up your ass But I know it won´t make it alright Straight out of nowhere – it´s coming on fast I sit here and wonder how long will it last Some of my best friends are gone And the others don´t know where they belong So light up the sky – the beat must go on Raise your glass for the black river song And drink all your problems away Tomorrow is just another day Let the punishment finally begin – for a life I traded for sin Yeah,I sure paid the cost for a love that I lost Strung out with a bottle of Gin So light up the sky – the beat must go on Raise your glass for the black river song And drink all your problems away Tomorrow is just another day
