DOWN IN THE HOLE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Will all your money
Buy you forgiveness
Keep you from sickness
Or keep you from cold?
Will all your money
Keep you from madness
Keep you from sadness
When you're down in the hole?
'Cause you'll be down in the gutter
You'll be bummin' for cigarettes
Bummin' for nylons
In the American Zone
You'll be down in the hole
Yeah, down in the hole
No escape from trouble
Nowhere to go
Down in the gutter
Beggin' for cigarettes
Beggin' forgiveness
All that you know
Down in the hole
After diggin' the trenches
Looking for cover and findin' out there ain't nowhere nowhere to go
Nowhere nowhere nowhere to go
None of your money
Will buy you forgiveness
None of your jewelry
None of your gold
Your black market cigarettes
Your American nightclubs
Ah, they've got nowhere left
Something for nothing
All of your friends gone
Something for nothing
That's all that you know
There's something down in the hole
Down down down in the hole
There's something down down down down in the hole
