~#**************#~
The freeway is jammed, and its backed up for miles
~#**************#~
The car is an oven and baking is wild
~#**************#~
Nothing is ever the way it should be
~#**************#~
What we deserve, we just dont get, you see
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus 1]
~#**************#~
A briefcase, a lunch, and a man on the edge
~#**************#~
Each step gets closer to losing his head
~#**************#~
Is someone in heaven? Are they looking down?
~#**************#~
‘Cause nothing is fair, just you look around
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Hes sick of waiting, of lying like this
~#**************#~
Theres a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
~#**************#~
Branded a leper because you dont fit
~#**************#~
In the land of the free, you just live by your wits
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus 2]
~#**************#~
Once, he built missiles, a nations defense
~#**************#~
Now he cant even give birthday presents
~#**************#~
Across the city, he leaves in his wake
~#**************#~
A glimpse of the future: a cannibal state
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
Falling down
~#**************#~
