Downward Spiral Songtext
von Scarboro

You′ve gotta stay alive
But you're trapped 9 to 5
The early symptoms of losing control
No matter what they say
The same shit every day
And so begins the downward spiral
Wrestling against every fiber in your being
And the clock is running against you
When time runs out
What was it all about
Will your life even stack up?
′Cuz you know that you don't
Have much time left
You've gotta stay alive
But you′re trapped 9 to 5
The early symptoms of losing control
No matter what they say
The same shit every day
And so begins the downward spiral
Wrestling against consequences of decisions


Tantamount to your existence
Is an exercise in futility
Listen to me
′Cuz you know
That you don't
Have
Much time left
You′ve gotta stay alive
But you're trapped 9 to 5
The early symptoms of losing control
No matter what they say
The same shit every day
And so begins the downward spiral
We′re going down
We're going down
We′re going down
You've gotta stay alive
But you're trapped 9 to 5
The early symptoms of losing control
No matter what they say
The same shit every day
And so begins the downward spiral
And so begins
And so begins
And so begins the downward spiral
