Down In The Dirt – 11th December 1984

The old grow so old so quickly
The children get older even quicker
And the shit we all have to wade through
Is getting even thicker

Fifteen years old, having a good time
You had some nice surprises
Your child was born
Your love became torn
Now you leave your child to her own devices

Catch 22, catching twenty-three
Your daughter is eight, young and wild
You know she’s just like you
Soon she will have her own child

You hate yourself for what you’ve been
Your daughter’s seeing what you’ve seen
You hate yourself and it’s starting to hurt
Your daughter has joined you, down in the dirt
