Some days we get a thrill in our brains 
Some days it turns to malaise 
You see a face in the veneer 
Reflecting on the surface of fear 
Because you know that we're better than that 
Some days are worse than you can imagine 
How am I supposed to live with that 
With all these train [bad word] at random? 

Hey, what are you gonna do 
When those walls are falling down 
Falling down on you? 

Hey, what are you gonna do 
When those walls are falling down 
Falling down on you? 

You got warheads stacked in the kitchen 
You treat distraction like it's a religion 
With a rattlesnake step in your rhythm 
We do the best with the souls we've been given 
Because you know we're nothing special to them 
We're going someplace they've already been 
Trying to make sense of what they call wisdom 
And this riff-raff ain't laughing with them 

Hey, what are you gonna do 
When those walls are falling down 
Falling down on you? 

Hey, what are you gonna do 
When those walls are falling down 
Falling down on you? 

You're wearing all of the years on your face 
Turn a tombstone all over place 
And your heart only beats in a murmur 
But your words ring out just like murder
