Friend, You've Got to Fall

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 surpriseWell, 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 fallWell, 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 timeThere'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 fallI 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 caughtCaught 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 differenceThere'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 fallWell, 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 manAnd 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 fallYou've got to fall
You've got to fall
You've got to fall
