Well, well, I can hear the treetops in the distance I can see your hollowed eyes What have you done to yourself in this instance? I guess it comes as no surprise
Well, I can see the billboards in the distance Writing is on every wall Oh, I don't wanna know about your business Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall
Well, every night it's gotta be adventure The way you live your life's a crime And if you're guilty, will you serve the sentence? You're already doing time
There's nothing wrong with having aspirations Nothing wrong with walking tall But if misfortune deals the consequences Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall
I know the difference, and you keep your distance I don't wanna know what you've got Is it pathetic to be sympathetic? Maybe you don't wanna get caught
Caught up in something that's real Could last for a lifetime Nothing like, nothing like the disease Disease that's in your mind Well, I know the difference
There's nothing wrong with having aspirations Nothing wrong with walking tall But if misfortune deals the consequences Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall
Well, I can see your life disintegrating Into ashes in your hand And I know you wouldn't wanna tell me What is wrong 'cause you're a man
And I can see the billboards in the distance Writing is on every wall I don't wanna know about your business Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall
You've got to fall You've got to fall You've got to fall
