Gold Gutter Lyrics

[Intro]
Aww, shit
You know what fuckin' time it is
Ooh, follow me, follow me down!
Rah!

[Verse 1]
I'd like to thank the world
For failing me (Thank you all)
I'd count the ways, but that'd take days
And where do I begin?
(With you and you and you and you)
I'd like to thank the bottom
For breaking me (I owe you one)
And I'd like to thank the Bible
For sin, (For sin) for sin

[Chorus]
A pound of flesh
Won't save your soul
Save your breath, light the match
And look out below
Fingers to the sky, they're pointed at you
Right at you, motherfucker
Eye on the prize, fist in the gold
And a foot in the gutter

See Five Finger Death Punch Live

Get tickets as low as $24

[Verse 2]
I'd like to thank the world
For blaming me (You and you and you)
It is what is; I did what I did
To survivе (I'm not ashamed)
I'd like to thank you all
For spitting on my grave
I know it makеs you sick
But I'm alive, (Still here) alive

[Chorus]
A pound of flesh
Won't save your soul
Save your breath, light the match
And look out below
Fingers to the sky, they're pointed at you
Right at you, motherfucker
Eye on the prize, fist in the gold
And a foot in the gutter

[Bridge]
This is my favorite part of the movie
Naw, I'm not fading to black
This is where you fucking scream
Bounce

Follow me, follow me, follow me down

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
A pound of flesh
Won't save your soul
Save your breath, light the match
And look out below
Fingers to the sky, they're pointed at you
Right at you, motherfucker
Eye on the prize, fist in the gold
And a foot in the gutter

[Tag]
Eye on the prize, fist in the gold
And a foot in the gutter

[Outro]
That's what's up

About

This song bio is unreviewed

This song is the 11th track off of Five Finger Death Punch’s 2022 album “Afterlife.” This is arguably the heaviest song on the album as it contains a heavy breakdown with aggressive screaming throughout. This song acts as a way for Ivan Moody to “thank” all the people and things that have wronged him or caused strife in his life. It also heavily critiques the greed of people around the world with the line on the main chorus about having a fist in the gold but a foot in the gutter. This references the fact that many people will sacrifice their happiness and well-being for money and fame. Overall, this song is a very aggressive song where Ivan Moody airs his grievances on many different things and people who have wronged him during his life and provide commentary on the things that people will do for monetary gain.
