Before the Fall

[Verse 1] Got beggars and clerks Got teachers and kids Elected men off work Defrocked preachers forbid [Chorus 1] I wonder how they can stand it Or if they care at all As they waste the last few days Before the fall [Verse 2] Homesick prisoners And party throwers With all their honored guests And their going nowheres [Chorus 2] You know i cannot be bothered Just ain't no point at all I've done a lot of screaming But no one would heed the call Before the fall Before the fall Before the fall [Verse 3] Talk show hosts Prophets and the police Swinging bachelor ghosts And lone divorcees [Chorus 3] I don't wanna hear no more Not a word about this at all No use to keep on screaming 'Cause no one will head the call Before the fall Before the fall Before the fall
