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
