Hello from the Gutter Lyrics by Overkill

Under the Influence

1988

[Verse 1]
All those dreams and broken glass
Swept down the sewer
With the rest of the trash
Never to be seen again
Now you're makin' a home
In a garbage can

[Pre-Chorus]
But here's a little story
That I lived to tell
Hello from the gutter
Hello from our little hell

[Verse 2]
Wasted days, wasted nights
Hypnotized
By the city lights
Another king and another queen
Livin' in the shadows
So they can't be seen

[Pre-Chorus]
Remember, all the world
Lies at your feet
And the Big Apple's rotten
Rotten in the heat

[Chorus]
Hello, hello
Hello from the gutter
Hello, hello
Hello from the gutter
Hello, hello
Hello from the gutter
Hello, hello
Hello from the gutter

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Gutter child, sweet sixteen
Broadway stars
That have never been
All those dreams and broken glass
Swept down the sewer
With the rest of the trash

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, here's a little story
That we lived to tell
Hello from the gutter
Hello from our little hell

[Chorus]
Hello from the gutter
Hello from the gutter
Hello from the gutter
Hello from the gutter (Hey!)
Hello from the gutter (Hey!)
Hello from the gutter (Hey!)

[Outro]
Welcome to the gutter
We've been expecting you
