Theory of a Deadman - Lowlife Lyrics

You know I'll be the one who gets fallin' down drunk
At my neighbour kid's soccer game
I've got an '82 Fierro with a car seat in the middle
Broken down on the Interstate
I've got a beer-stained t-shirt looking like...
Something 'bout me just ain't right
I'm a cash-stealing, drug-dealing loser without any feeling
Gettin trailer trash tonight


[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a low life, and I'm lovin it
I've got the whole damn world in the palm of my hand
I'm a low life, so f***in deal with it
No you can't change something that you don't understand


I'm thrilled to be a hillbilly, hate to have to deal with me
Probably just end in a fight
No sleeves, can't breathe, doesn't even phase me
Naked, sleeping like a baby tonight


[Chorus]


Livin it up, livin it up
Being a low life
(x3)
Livin it up, livin it u-u-up


A gun-packin, b*tch-smackin, mess with me it's gonna happen
Lovin life livin in sin
Passed out on the floor, sorry just to work no more
Give it up, give it up


Ah f**k it


'Cause I'm a low life, and I'm lovin it
I'm never gonna change as long as I live
I'm a low life, so f***in deal with it
'Cause deep down I really know everyone is


'Cause we're low lives, and we're lovin it
We got the whole damn world in the palm of our hand
'Cause we're low lives, so f***in deal with it
No you can't change something that you don't understand


Livin it up, livin it up
Being a low life

Well..... The song kinda sucks IMNSHO and there was no 82 fiero and if there was it would not be broken down on the freeway! Oh Yeah btw lil' devil, that picture of your coupe in your avatar gives me wood...!! That is a gorgeous coupe you have there.... love the wheels. I got a GT here but I think my NEXT fiero will be a coupe like that. There is a SWEET yellow one for sale in Florida right now posted on the mall.. peace

I think they made the lyrics wrong on purpose just to see who would catch it. It is a decent song but not as good as Bad Girlfriend IMO.

I GOT IT! I found the story of the 82 Fiero!

82 Fiero! Rarest of the rare cars! This was a pilot release of the Fieros, and it had a bench seat. The ECM was located in the engine compartment about a couple inches away from the exhaust. With this ECM placement, the cars broke down after mild interstate driving. The 82 Fiero sold about 5 cars before GM cancelled it. In 1984 they re-released the Fiero with some fixes and it sold out! Ahh the story of the Fiero...

The legacy of the fiero and rock musicians goes way back. Perhaps some of the young ones here haven't heard of Cory Heart or Hall and Oats. Here's some 80's educational reading:

There was a 78 fiero prototype so why not an 82 as mentioned above first i have heard about a bench seat but as a commuter car it makes sense.

If you listen to the lyrics of their other songs, you will be equally disappointed. They are up there with nickelback in the pop metal genre. I puked a little bit when I heard that song.

Yeah I was just in the car with my friends and I was like.... did I just hear what I thought I heard? Not offended, but still come on :P

(Note: When I say I was in the car with my friends, I dont mean my Fiero, because I dont have the 82 with the bench seat.)

The stock 82 wheels were pretty fancy. Additionally, I see you can get the genuine 1982 "Pontiac Racing" sail panels from www.fierosails.com.

Heard this song last week for the first time on my way to work and mentioned it on my facebook page. A lot of people were laughing saying id be the only person who caught the error. I was like no Im sure there are a ton of Fiero enthusiasts out there whove known about it much longer than I have.

It refers to the Fiero as a 1982 model, and says it has a car seat in the middle. Those two facts ruined the song for me the very first time i heard it.

Wow! Some are getting worked up because of the years and a car seat in the middle after they make your car the choice to represent a white trash low life trailer park loser.
I would think how they represent the car would have made you more upset than the year? I must be missing somthing?

We all know white trash low life trailer park losers buy older Camaro's and Mustangs because they are easier to work on and find parts for. LOL!

I like the song and the car looks better than I expected it to look in the video. One thing for sure the song is no Little GTO or Trans Am Highway Wonder Land.

I don't think they were implying the front seat is a bench seat. I hear it as they're describing a kid's car seat sitting on the center console, not belted in, kinda trailer trash, kinda. Oh, for whatever reasons I've seen many Fieros broke down on the side of the highway.

Lets face it this is not a song that will drive people to buy Fiero's and increase demand.

The next worse thing is to be the lead car in Joe Dirt II.
