Lyrics Gimme The Sweet And Lowdown - Social Distortion

It was a moonlight mishap
You lost your party hat
Seems your lifestyle ain't so worthwhile, after all
A heavy-hearted taxi ride
Then a walk on the wild side
Did your guardian angel let you down?
Gonna lay low and play it straight
It's time to rejuvenate
Gonna kick start your heart until you come around

I can tell you now
You've really gotten the blues
I can tell you now
That I've walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You better get outta the way
It's history made the hard way
From a hero to a zero once again
Ain't no time for vanity
Or this insanity
You're maladjusted
And now you're busted once again

I can tell you now
It comes as no surprise
I can tell you now
By that look in your eyes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You're looking kinda punch drunk
'Cause that's the way you strut your stuff
With a swing and a swagger, down the road you go
You shoulda made a better choice
And listened to your inner voice
You gotta get right or get left, don't y'know

I can tell you now
It's the peak of bad news
I can tell you now
That I've walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown
The sweet and lowdown
Gimme the sweet
The sweet and lowdown
