Now I know the truth about you The lie you lived deceiving me All the dreams you will destroy And leave me lost and vulnerable. Hush now baby don't you cry Mother loves you only pressure heavy on her mind Every day brings one more debt Nothing left to pay only tears and sweat Life goes down, down, down, down Life goes down. Life goes down, down, down, down Life goes down Why do you abuse your friend? It's not her fault that you can't find a means to an end Can't you see it's working well, The way they turn you against yourself? Life goes down, down, down, down Life goes down *(Reprise is dedicated to Margaret Hilda Thatcher)
