never been a lazy man i've always had a job..all i ever asked for was a chance to give it all .. don't need to be a rich man the middle suits me fine.. be part of that old dream i had back in another time ... it's the rise and fall...
i was told that i would reap whatever i had sown..build a better future in a place to call our own .. i believed in what i heard, bought right in on the plan... now i found you let me down, just where am i going to stand ...
it's the rise and fall...
used to make enough to buy us everything we need ... now we borrow from the future and just where's that going to lead.. i understand the homeless who are broken from the fight .. it seems we're just a check away from sharing in their plight..
it's the rise and fall
