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 surprise
Well, I can see the billboards in the distance
Writing is on every wall
Oh, I dont wanna know about your business
Sooner or later, friend, youve got to fall
Well, every night its gotta be adventure
The way you live your lifes a crime
And if youre guilty, will you serve the sentence?
Youre already doing time
Theres nothing wrong with having aspirations
Nothing wrong with walking tall
But if misfortune deals the consequences
Sooner or later, friend, youve got to fall
I know the difference, and you keep your distance
I dont wanna know what youve got
Is it pathetic to be sympathetic?
Maybe you dont wanna get caught
Caught up in something thats real
Could last for a lifetime
Nothing like, nothing like the disease
Disease thats in your mind
Well, I know the difference
Theres nothing wrong with having aspirations
Nothing wrong with walking tall
But if misfortune deals the consequences
Sooner or later, friend, youve got to fall
Well, I can see your life disintegrating
Into ashes in your hand
And I know you wouldnt wanna tell me
What is wrong cause youre a man
And I can see the billboards in the distance
Writing is on every wall
I dont wanna know about your business
Sooner or later, friend, youve gotto fall
Youve got to fall
Youve got to fall
Youve got to fall
