[Verse 1]
Some son of a bitch took a swing at my face
And I felt it as his fist knocked my nose out of place
And then his second swing, Lord, it sent me for a spin
Here I am, back down in the gutter again

[Chorus]
In the gutter again; it's become my home
Surrounded my lost souls, so at least I ain't alone
Somehow I knew that someday I would end
Up down in the gutter again

[Verse 2]
I'm talkin' to the trash, have become my family
These people walk past like I'm nothin' but debris
And I'm one witness scum-blower that I'm livin' in
Here I am, back down in the gutter again
Here I am, back down in the gutter again
