[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Oh, I know the difference, and you keep your distance
Oh, I don't wanna know what you've got
Oh, is it pathetic to be sympathetic?
And maybe you don't wanna get caught
Caught up in something that's real
That could last for a lifetime
Nothing like, oh, nothing like the disease
Disease that's in your mind
Well, I don't wanna know...
That's in your mind
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Well, I can see your life disintegrating
Into ashes in your hand
Oh, and I know you wouldn't want to tell me
What is wrong 'cause you're a man, oh
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
You've got to fall
You've got to fall
You've got to fall
