Take every single thing
But don't forget you'll feel the same
When you are down and out
Oh, when you forget the words that slipped from her mouth

You sit on this throne of needles, drugs, and pins
And you know you might see the end
But we tried and we'll continue to try
To raise your life to greater heights

But you are a victim
Of where you live
Of where you choose to fit in
Of where you only fit in

And you know, that this was
The beginning of an era of wicked friends
Waging war with your skin!
Waging war on your skin!

Take every single thing
But don't forget you'll feel the same
When you are down and out
Oh, when you forget the words that slipped from her mouth
