It's high time you realize that you're the only problem you've got So if you're gonna lie about it, lie to somebody else And if your gonna die about it, die on somebody else You got nowhere – nowhere to go but down Nowhere – nowhere to go but down… yeah! I ain't no preacher, but you now that I'm your friend Somebody yells "FIRE", you don't look you just jump right in I've seen you on your d**h bed, looking like a fading light Five down and four to go – you always could put up a fight So if you're gonna lie about it, lie to somebody else And if your gonna die about it, die on somebody else

Nowhere to go to and no place to stay The bill's overdue and you can't pay You got nowhere – nowhere to go but down, yeah!
