No way you see me right
From such a commanding height
Come down to my level
Look me in the eye
You walked on top of
The infirm and elderly
And climbed over
The mediocre masses too eagerly
Hell you probably even stepped on
Your own friends and family
You do what you gotta do
To get you where you wanna be
You've amassed a massively impressive collection of depressive weapons
In your tower made from our ancestors'
Skulls
Yea you're all smiles today
But all I can say is
You better hope and pray
You never fall
It's a long way down
Breaking our backs
Trying to prop you up
While we slowly sink into the ground
In hindsight we know
We could have just let go
We missed our chance
Now our hands are bound
But we've still got the power
To topple your tower
And make you take the long way down
Hey there
Built brick by brick
By well-meaning honest men
Now you use it as a fortress
To keep your blood money in
It's been rotten by corruption
And the unfun kinds of sin
We should probably tear it down
To the foundation start again
You've created an inverted prison
With countless defensive systems
In your vainglorious phallic wonderwall
It keeps you safe for now
But I'd love to see how
Prepared you really are
For the fall
It's a long way down
Breaking our backs
Trying to prop you up
While we slowly sink into the ground
In hindsight we know
We could have just let go
We missed our chance
Now our hands are bound
But we've still got the power
To topple your tower
And make you take the long way down
Gotta get up
I gotta get up there
Gotta get up
I gotta get up there
Gotta get up
I gotta get up there
Gotta get up
I gotta get up there
If I work real hard
And I say my prayers
With a little luck
I can make it there
Well in my experience
I haven't found that to be the case
At all
Cuz It's a long way down
Breaking our backs
Trying to prop you up
While we slowly sink into the ground
In hindsight we know
We could have just let go
We missed our chance
Now our hands are bound
But we've still got the power
To topple your tower
And make you take the long way down
