lyrics

The panelling's dark and ugly the TV doesn't work
The guy who lives upstairs beats his girlfriend after work
The fridge is very loud the windows very small
My roommate spends his time bangin his head against the wall
Oh life in the basement suite ain't so sweet
life in the basement
fuckin sucks

I gotta make the move to ground level living
this underground existence is unforgiving
A God given rage is filling me
Cuz this goddam basement suite is killin me
Life in the basement live in the basement
Life in the basement is killin me

In the winter it's too cold in the summer it's too hot
The air down here smells like an old hooker's twat
My landlord is a pimp his girlfriend is a hosebag
Puttin money in their pockets is a great big drag
Oh life in the basement suite ain't so sweet
life in the basement
fuckin sucks

Livin in a basement is a poor man's fate
My subterranean home is a place I really hate
A God given rage is filling me
Cuz this goddam basement suite is killin me
Life in the basement live in the basement
Life in the basement is killin me
