Fallin'

All the things we do for silver,

Slowly chip away our dreams.

Wake up daily in a stupor,

Life is never what it seems.

Another day, another dollar,

Another way to feel smaller.

Another way to wear a collar.

Another day the cliff grows taller.

Fallin’, fallin’, fallin’...

Fallin’, fallin’, fallin’...

Sacrifice and deprivation,

Nowhere left, nowhere to run.

Too much fear and obligation,

Self-respect is never won.

Another day, another dollar,

Another way to feel smaller.

Another way to wear a collar.

Another day the cliff grows taller.

Fallin’, fallin’, fallin’...

Fallin’, fallin’, fallin’...

Where did all the promise go?

The dreams all left like melting snow.

Seems like a hundred years ago.

Fallin’, fallin’, fallin’...

Fallin’, fallin’...

Another day, another dollar,

Another way to feel smaller.

Another way to wear a collar.

Another day the cliff grows taller.

Fallin’, fallin’, fallin’...

Fallin’, fallin’, fallin’...
