I'm down in the slums, nobody don't want me around I'm down in the slums, nobody don't want me around I feel like some garbage can, way out in some dumping ground I feel like something lost, and can't never been found I feel like something lost, and can't never been found I feel like I'm in quicksand, and slowly sinkin' down Lord please forgive me, for the wrong I've done Lord please forgive me, for all the wrong I've done Because I'm tired of living, down in the dirty lowdown slums They say the darkest hour, is just a little while before day They say the darkest hour, is just a little while before day So you know I wish that the time people, would hurry and pass away Well I'm goin' to leave a token, if I should pass away I'm goin' to leave a token, if I should pass away I am lucky to be livin', in this cruel old world today
