Lyrics

The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven are they looking down?
Nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
He's sick of waiting of lying like this
There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
Branded a leper because you don't fit
In the land of the free you just live by your wits
Once he built missiles a nation's defense
And now he can't even give birthday presents
Across the city he lives in his wake
A glimpse of the future a cannibal state
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven are they looking down?
Nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
