Things Fall Apart Lyrics

Things fall apart, your best plans fail

You try to make it to the top and land in jail

Things fall apart, you crash and burn

You only get a fraction of the things you earn

Why, why, I'm telling you why

As if you didn't know

You think it crass to kiss the ass

Of Mr. So-and-So

Why, why, I'm telling you why

Like it changes a thing

You wouldn't sell your soul to hell

Or bow before the king

Things fall apart, you're shown the door

Your best performance is on the cutting room floor

Things fall apart, you learn to bleed

You've still got several friends but not the ones you need

Things fall apart, you try to pray

But you don't know who to or what you ought to say

Things fall apart, you are no one

You want to give up but you don't know how that's done
