Got beggars and clerks
Got teachers and kids Elected men off work Defrocked preachers forbid I wonder how they can stand it Or if they care at all As they waste the last few days Before the fall Homesick prisoners And party throwers With all their honored guests And their going nowheres 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 Talk show hosts Prophets and the police Swinging bachelor ghosts And lone divorcees 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 |
