There 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



I 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



Yeat it was pouring 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
