Lyrics
Before The Fall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Got beggars and clerks
Got teachers and kids
Elected men off work
Defrocked preachers forbid
I wonder how they can stand it
Or if they care at all
As they waste the last few days
Before the fall
Homesick prisoners
And party throwers
With all their honored guests
And their going nowheres
You know i cannot be bothered
Just ain't no point at all
I've done a lot of screaming
But no one would heed the call
Before the fall
Talk show hosts
Prophets and the police
Swinging bachelor ghosts
And lone divorcees
I don't wanna hear no more
Not a word about this at all
No use to keep on screaming
'cause no one will head the call
Before the fall
