He was just a poor boy livin' down by the railroad tracks |
|
His father worked so hard to provide that he died of a cardiac |
|
He made himself a promise to leave the poverty behind |
|
Now climbing up the corporate ladderis all that matters in his grand design |
|
You can forget about friends in your climb before your fall |
|
The climb before the fall |
|
Alone at the top you feel the pressure pulling you |
|
And you try in your mindto repent your sins in your climb before your fall |
|
The climb before the fall |
|
Change your ways or you will pay in your dying days |
|
In the end, in the end, in the end |
|
Sunrise now and he has to get to work,he's gotta tell someone what to do |
|
Lives his life thinkin' how to get ahead,kickin' of his corporate shoes |
|
Throws his credit cards in everyone's face,name droppin' 'cause he thinks it's cool |
|
Doesn't realize he doesn't know how to act,he's just lookin' like a complete fool |
|
He left everyone he loved alone out in the cold |
|
His mother was standing in the welfare linewhile he was up to his neck in gold |
|
Now he's become a millionaireand he's sitting right at the top |
|
But he found that the higher up the mountainmeans the longer that you're gonna drop |
