Another Lowlife Songtext
von Axyz

I′m a lowlife, I reside on the bottom rung
Within a system I don't benefit from
Lowlife, to the bottom I sunk
Tide rises and there′s no hope, we're all just
Lowlives living right on the bottom rung
Been deemed dung so that's what I′ve become
It′s a low life when you are one
But it looks like it's a low life or none


Why are these people pretending not to see me
They′re crossing the street not speak to me, a masked freak, see
Lower class? No class, believe me
I'm not gonna mug you, it′s cold, I wear a hoodie if I like
It's alright, I don′t carry a knife
I ain't here to take your money or life, I'm quite nice
So is this distrust endemic of society′s slide
Or am I an intimidating sight
At times, I act like a robot
Making mistakes in places others do not
Social etiquette, I forget that a lot
And what it feels to be human at all, I forgot
Frequently glitch out, my wires get crossed
Updates are needed but connection is lost
Like broken machinery, aside I′m tossed
Not worth fixing whatever the cost

I'm a lowlife, I reside on the bottom rung
Within a system I don′t benefit from
Lowlife, to the bottom I sunk
Tide rises and there's no hope, we′re all just
Lowlifes, living right on the bottom rung
Been deemed dung so that's what I′ve become
It's a low life when you are one
But it looks like it's a low life or none


In a wonderland of substances banned
Either you get it or you won′t understand
This is wonderland! Both impromptu and planned
I am coming in peace but their defences are manned
These passers by are giving me eyes like they despise me
Directly stare knives, they don′t look discreetly
With no time for truth or fact, they only wanna see that
I'm a skid mark to clean off of history′s pants
Sky high flight to emergency stop
Fall from a rise to a straight down drop
Nosedive, likely to survive this, not
I have lost all control and I am losing the plot
Social pariah, a scapegoat, I'm hated
For the very same traits that they created
When will this thirst for my worst be sated
Stepped on for so long but I′ve got to face it

I'm a lowlife, I reside on the bottom rung
Within a system I don′t benefit from
Lowlife, to the bottom I sunk
Tide rises and no hope, we're all just
Lowlifes, living right on the bottom rung
Been deemed dung so that's what we′ve become
It′s a low life when you are one
But it looks like it's a low life or none

The clocks are dripping off the walls, I′m tripping balls
And social programming is clearly installed
By a media machine feed frenzy
Where we keep eating up words that mean nothing at all
We're cool with fools filling our brains
With the same plain, insane, lame inane strains
Being lowlifes with no lives, rock bottom of the food chain
Yeah it′s all so mundane
But what's the point in screaming and staying silent
Waiting for the next protest to get violent
Waiting for the government to consent
To stop criminalising how we′d dissent
I spoke to God on a good trip, I guess he's not dead
It's just been living in the back of my head
To identify the low life I led
Though I hope to grow it, you know even God said

We′re lowlifes, we reside on the bottom rung
Within a system we don′t benefit from
Lowlife, to the bottom we sunk
Tide rises and there's no hope, we′re all just
Lowlifes living right on the bottom rung
Been deemed dung so that's what we′ve become
It's a very low life when you actually are one
And now this lowlife is done
