0:11And it all falls down yeah
0:16And it all falls down again
0:21And it all falls down yeah
0:27And it all falls down
0:31How can you learn how to swim before you get in
0:34Sometimes you got to take the plunge just to get in
0:36Life's not full of shallow ends
0:37Your house ain't full of armbands
0:39Stay afloat someone might put their arm out to help you
0:41I don't know I would
0:42If I saw somebody drowning in a sea of self-confusion
0:45I wanna be the one to try and understand
0:47Why their tide ain't coming in
0:49And their lighthouse ain't shining mmm
0:51So why do we all fall down
0:55If there's a reason we can stay afloat
0:57Why do we watch them drown
1:00We're too selfish in the lifeboats
1:02Why do we all fall down
1:05If there's a reason we can stay afloat
1:07Why do we watch them drown
1:11Yeah
1:12So why are all the richest staying afloat
1:14Seeing all my brothers drowning
1:15Even though they nicked the boat
1:17Mothership ain't helping anyone
1:18See the ships are getting bigger
1:20Full of greedy wasteful men
1:21Soaking kids with the lies before they even got to ten
1:24Sailing the internet waves a tsunami of wires
1:28A flood to take us under if
1:29We can't afford the life jackets
1:31Majority don't even have the life jacket
1:33Majority might fall where the tax brackets
1:36The minority might jump to the next bracket
1:38On a form to sign up for a raft
1:41And a pay packet
1:42With the same old unemployed age bracket
1:44Even money sinks to the bottom when it's waterlogged
1:47So nobody truly stays afloat
1:52Yeah
1:53So why do we all fall down
1:57If there's a reason we can stay afloat
1:59And why do we watch them drown
2:02We're too selfish in the lifeboats
2:04Why do we all fall down
2:08If there's a reason we can stay afloat
2:09Why do we watch them drown
2:14Yeah
2:15And it all falls down yeah
2:20And it all falls down again
2:26And it all falls down yeah
2:31And it all falls down
And it all falls down yeah And it all falls down again And it all falls down yeah And it all falls down How can you learn how to swim before you get in Sometimes you got to take the plunge just to get in Life's not full of shallow ends Your house ain't full of armbands Stay afloat someone might put their arm out to help you I don't know I would If I saw somebody drowning in a sea of self-confusion I wanna be the one to try and understand Why their tide ain't coming in And their lighthouse ain't shining mmm So why do we all fall down If there's a reason we can stay afloat Why do we watch them drown We're too selfish in the lifeboats Why do we all fall down If there's a reason we can stay afloat Why do we watch them drown Yeah So why are all the richest staying afloat Seeing all my brothers drowning Even though they nicked the boat Mothership ain't helping anyone See the ships are getting bigger Full of greedy wasteful men Soaking kids with the lies before they even got to ten Sailing the internet waves a tsunami of wires A flood to take us under if We can't afford the life jackets Majority don't even have the life jacket Majority might fall where the tax brackets The minority might jump to the next bracket On a form to sign up for a raft And a pay packet With the same old unemployed age bracket Even money sinks to the bottom when it's waterlogged So nobody truly stays afloat Yeah So why do we all fall down If there's a reason we can stay afloat And why do we watch them drown We're too selfish in the lifeboats Why do we all fall down If there's a reason we can stay afloat Why do we watch them drown Yeah And it all falls down yeah And it all falls down again And it all falls down yeah And it all falls down
