Born In The Basement

Was a full moon shining on the night of my birth
The night that I was damned to live upon this Earth
I didn't ask to be here, I was just forced out
Into a concrete crib where I just thrashed about

Born in the basement
Living on dog food
Born in the basement

Bet the neighbors wondered, "What the hell was that noise?"
I just was not one of your average neighborhood boys
I bet their neck hairs crawled when I cried out, you see
I didn't get no milk, Mom died delivering me

Born in the basement
Living on dog food
Born in the basement

[Guitar solo]

It was pouring down rain when I came into this world
Yeah, I lived next to a sewer, and I was not very thrilled
I reared my ugly head, and I let out a scream
Yeah, I ate dirty rats, and I drank gasoline

Born in the basement
Living on dog food
Born in the basement

Born in the basement
Living on dog food
Born in the basement

Born in the basement
Living on doggy food
Born, born, yeah yeah
