[Verse 1]
Jimmy's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close you can hear him cry
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
(Sing it) Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
[Verse 2]
Judy's in the front seat picking up trash
Living on the dole, gotta make that cash
Won't be pretty, won't be sweet
She's just sitting here on her feet
[Chorus]
Singing oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
(Go) Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
(Sing) Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
[Bridge]
I've had better days, man
I've seen better days
I've had better ways, man
I know better ways
[Verse 3]
One, two, three and four
The devil's knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man's lie
Start your life with your head held high
Now you're on your knees with your head hung low
Big man tells you where to go
Tell them it's good, tell them okay
Don't do a goddamn thing they say
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
[Bridge]
I've seen better ways, man
I know better ways
I've seen better days, man
I've had better days
[Verse 4]
Gina's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close you can hear the crying
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
