Falling Down

[Verse 1] Drinking in electric lady land Conversate with the crazy man Where the babies sip babycham And dames babysit Damien Plagued by the everyday pain of a pantomime palladium Players duckin buckshots in the cranium Lost on a path of pre-destined devastation They're dishin out medication in many forms I meditate on millennium metaphors A tour-de-force of fornication A thought-police state dictates to the whores of a sleaze nation Discreet segregation Infinite degrees of separation, we celebrate creation Creating new means of our destruction De-sensitised to the violence, the carnage is cartoon It's Televised to your front room Guns boom, pictures that poison the young We're highly strung A slugfest for the scum But I ain t givin up cause I'm driven by the drum in drunken tongues I talk up at the sun but I ain t givin up Nah [Hook] Rain clouds breakdown my cardboard wall of sound And now nobody hears when I'm calling out It's like they cover their ears Say my tears are the tears of a clown Please help me I'm falling down [Verse 2] My silver tongue spits gold bars Bring an amber glow to cold hearts Show love to my close spars Living their lives so fast While our foes slow dance with Diablo Most can't cope with the agro, watchin' the rats grow Led astray by a modern day pied piper in a lab coat It's code red, white lines blue movies And media scapegoats provoke defence I vent fears with a broken pen And shed tears for the hopeless Approaching the future with a clear focus Frozen below the mushroom clouds And we're much too loud to be allowed to speak out Cause the people might freak out A free man with his hands tied, died buried below the landslide Rigged by the sidewinders Wise to the way that the lies are applied as a social science To those who show signs of defiance The fire burns We learn ways to survive as the world turns Look away from the flames as the fire burns We learn ways to survive [Hook]
