Down And Out Lyrics

Welcome aboard the crazy trip
circle of fools say 'hi'

Watch your step or you might trip
we're glad you came on by

The guys and I prepared a brew
you really ought to taste

It makes you strong and makes you &*#@%
don't let it go to waste

Care for some sweets to chase your drink?
I see you've quite a thirst

No no no you can't yet go
First things must come first

Delicious not? You feel alive?
You need a little space?

So you're not feeling well?
What's wrong with your face?

Holy smokes! We goofed again
The brew was not quite right

We'll take him back behind the pen
and try again tonight

Welcome aboard the crazy trip
circle of fools say 'hi'

Watch your step or you might trip

(chorus)
Great that we pretend that we are all that
we enjoy ourselves
should we get some help?
we have always failed yet there is no doubt
can't go wrong from here
we are down and out
all of us are going down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I wonder if testing this brew is what made En Esch bald...

Well, they're trying to fool someone into drinking the brew for some reason. I don't get much beyond that. Any ideas?

It\'s pretty much just them creating some sort of drug or maybe even draw combination (that\'s what brew could mean) and having one of their friends drink it. Something goes wrong, or maybe they all try it and it all goes wrong for them (Sascha\'s line of "What\'s wrong with your face?" could imply that they\'re also having a bad trip with the said person trying the brew)\nalso yes, this is totally what made En Esch bald
