Downtrodden
Abney Park

Once I was complete

With the earth firm under my feet

My back was strong, my body fleet

And now I ache all over

Now I ache all over


I learned each virtue I was told

I worked hard to avoid the mold

But as I saw my life unfold

There was no place for me

There was no place for me


I've been beat, I've been broken

I asked for a place and the world has spoken

I was asleep, but now that I've woken

I preferred my dreams.


I'm tired guilt, I'm tired of crying

I'm tired of work and I'm finished trying

I'm tired of living and I'm scared of dying

But there is nothing else.


It was hard as I begun;

Each day harder it has become.


Once I was complete

With the earth firm under my feet

My back was strong, my body fleet

And now I ache all over

Now I ache all over


I learned each virtue I was told

I worked hard to avoid the mold

But as I saw my life unfold

There was no place for me

There was no place for me


I've been beat, I've been broken

I asked for a place and the world has spoken

I was asleep, but now that I've woken

I preferred my dreams.


I'm tired of guilt, I'm tired of crying

I'm tired of living and I'm scared of dying

I'm tired of work and I'm finished trying

But there is nothing else.


It was hard as I begun;

Each day harder it has become.


Once I was complete

With the earth firm under my feet

My back was strong, my body fleet

Now I ache all over

Now I ache all over
