Fall back again, fall back again...
Fall back again, fall back again...
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we see, what we do
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Well, look at this crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes, all fall down
Oh, look around about this round about
This merry-go-round and round
If at all God's gaze upon us fall
It's with a mischievous grin, look at Him
Forget about the reasons
And the treasons we are seeking...
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty
We are innocent instead...
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Oh, look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Down to my grave, God knows I'd save and save
Man, take a look again, take a look again
Things you have collected
Well, in the end it all piles up so tall
To one big nothing, one big nothing at all
Forget about the reasons
And the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You know how it is...
You seek up an emotion
And your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion
Sometimes your well is dry
You're looking for a monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil's not going, "Ha, ha, ha, ha"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha..."
Say, oh, say...
Oh, late at night, with TV's hungry child
His belly swells...
Well, for the price of a Coke™ or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungy eyes
Man, take a look again, take a look again, take a look again
Everyday things change, basically they stay the same
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away, oh...
You seek up an emotion,
And your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion
Sometimes your well is dry, oh
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil's not going, "Ha, ha, ha, ha."
"Ha, ha, ha, ha..."
Fall back again, fall back again
Ashes...
Fall back again, fall back again...
