The streets of the future littered with remains

Of both the fools and the so called brains

The whole prediction is enough to kill

But only God knows if it won't or it will

Nobody knows why we fell so flat

Some silly creature said we'd never crack

Most would just survive and then bounce back

But the rest are crying "Why'd I fall for that crap"

Why did I fall for that?



So many rash promises sincerly made

By people who believed that we were being saved

They made us all believe that we were acting white

But the truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight

Nobody knows why we fell so flat

We're impotent and neutered like whining cats

We've found the piper but we've lost the rats

But the kids are crying "Why'd I fall for that dad?"

Why did you fall?



It never rains under my umbrella



Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day

Maybe if we smile the clock'll fade away

Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse

Maybe a word, maybe maybe is a curse

Nobody knows why we fell so flat

We've never been taught to fight or to face up to facts

We simply believe that we'd remain intact

But history is asking why did you fall for that

Why did you fall?



Why did I fall for that

Why did I fall for that

Why did I fall for that
