Lyrics Paddy and the Rats

Paddy and the Rats

Droppings Down The Floor

Back again to this old, damned city

But everything has changed

Dave's on rehab, Mike's in detox,

And Jimmy's in the jail

Screwed up lifes and fucked up friends

With no future at all

But I am only one of them

A scumbag, lier, whore

Down the floor

We're droppings down the floor

We're all lost hounds

Have know no bounds

Before we've found a

Way deep down below

Can't live our life within the law

We're droppings down the floor

We're all just singing broken hymns

Before got killed but maybe after all

We'll never loose our frazzled soul

We're droppings down the floor

Sitting desperate down the floor

In the corner of my mind

Waiting for the sacrifice

As memories bringing me down

Try to talk to the child in me

He's staring at the sun

Keep me away from pulling the trigger

As I face the gun down the floor

We're droppings down the floor

Got no pride and got no glory to show

We're a generation in the raw

Our spirit's flyin' but it's drawn

Ain't got nothing but won't even come back for more

Out of culture, out of society's wall

No revolution, got no war

Hear the bells out to call

One by one we're weak like a broken bone

As one we're stronger than alone

Need a common idea to fighting for

We're droppings down the floor
