The streets of the future littered with remains
|
Of both the fools and the so called brains
|
The whole prediction is enough to kill
|
But only God knows if it won't or it will
|
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
|
Some silly creature said we'd never crack
|
Most would just survive and then bounce back
|
But the rest are crying "Why'd I fall for that crap"
|
Why did I fall for that?
|
|
So many rash promises sincerly made
|
By people who believed that we were being saved
|
They made us all believe that we were acting white
|
But the truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight
|
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
|
We're impotent and neutered like whining cats
|
We've found the piper but we've lost the rats
|
But the kids are crying "Why'd I fall for that dad?"
|
Why did you fall?
|
|
It never rains under my umbrella
|
|
Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day
|
Maybe if we smile the clock'll fade away
|
Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse
|
Maybe a word, maybe maybe is a curse
|
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
|
We've never been taught to fight or to face up to facts
|
We simply believe that we'd remain intact
|
But history is asking why did you fall for that
|
Why did you fall?
|
|
Why did I fall for that
|
Why did I fall for that
|
Why did I fall for that
|
