  • (Dead in the gutter)
    (Dead in the gutter)
    (Should be dead in the gutter, sorry)

    Back when I was fifteen, I got into the wrong crowd
    Got myself in trouble just to make a silly man proud
    When I was sixteen, I almost died
    Swear my mom watched my life flash behind her eyes
    When I was seventeen, I relapsed like ten times
    And that last one led me to a downward spiral
    Eighteen, picking up the drink
    Felt kinda nice 'cause I didn't have to think

    Nineteen, lockdown hit
    Everything around me, it all went to shit
    Then I turned twenty, when did I turn twenty?
    How the fuck am I twenty?
    Like what?

    I should be dead in a gutter by now
    Should be six feet under
    Don't know how I swerved the corner
    (Dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, should be dead in the gutter)
    I should be
    Dead in a gutter by now
    Should be six feet under
    Don't know how I swerved the corner

    (Dead in the gutter)
    (Dead in the gutter)

    Now I'm twenty-two, haven't got a clue
    I got a chip on my shoulder, I think that it's cool
    No one's gonna fuck with the girl that breaks the rules
    No one gives a fuck 'cause we're all replaceable

    I'm just such a hypocrite
    Don't know how I live with it
    Tell my brother not to smoke
    I'm the one who hasn't quit
    Really, I'm just winging it
    Hoping it don't go to shit
    Hoping I can find a place where I fit

    I should be
    Dead in a gutter by now (by now)
    Should be six feet under
    Don't know how I swerved the corner
    (Dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, should be dead in the gutter)
    I should be
    Dead in a gutter by now
    Should be six feet under
    Don't know how I swerved the corner

    (Dead in the gutter)
    (Dead in the gutter)

    (Dead in the gutter)
    (Dead in the gutter)
    (Should be dead in the gutter)
    (Dead in the gutter)
    Should be six feet under, don't know (dead in the gutter)
