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 fuck 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
