Story Behind The Song
Lyrics:
It's Going Down
I ain't got not money
ain't no time
ain't got no reason
to walk down the line
I'm going it alone
just you wait and see
I'm going to the graveyard
and I'm taking you with me
I'm going down down down down down
I'm going down
Turn off the phone
Turn off the light
turn off tomorrow
fade into night
take off your clothes
take it for free
don't took below
don't wanna leave
we're going down down down down down
I called my doctor
I called my wife
but now I'm falling
under the knife
I told my lover
I paid my lawyer
they said I'm sorry
I can't do nothing for ya
I never listened to my mother
I didn't take care of my brother (so now)
I'm all alone and isolated
I burned it all to the ground
Its going down down down down down.
