Fall back again, fall back again, 
Fall back again, fall back again 
Oh, life it seems a [bad word] between 
What we see and what we do 
I'm not going to change my ways 
Just to please you or appease you 
Well look at this crowd, five billion proud 
Willing to punch it out 
Right, wrong, weak, strong 
Ashes to ashes all fall down 
Look around about this round 
About this merry-go-round around 
If at all God's gaze upon us fall 
It's with a mischevous grin, look at him 

Forget about the reasons and 
The treasons we are seeking 
Forget about the notion that 
Our emotions can be kept at bay 
Forget about being guilty, 
We are innocent instead 
For soon we will all find our lives swept away 

Oh, Look at me in my fancy car 
And my bank account 
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down 
To my grave, God knows I'd save and save 
Man, Take a look again, take a look again, 
Things you have collected 
Well in the end it all piles up so tall, 
To ine big nothin' one big nothin' at all 

Forget about the reasons and 
The treasons we are seeking 
Forget about the notion that 
Our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay 
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead 
For soon we will all find our lives swept away 
(You know how it is) 

You seek up an emotion 
And your cup is overflowing 
You seek up an emotion, 
Sometimes your well is dry 
Your looking for a monster 
For him to fight your wars for you 
But when he finds his way to you, 
The devil's not going--ha, ha 

(Say Oh say) 

Late at night with TV's hungry child 
His belly swells 
Well, for a price of a coke or a smoke 
I could keep alive those hungy eyes 
Man, Take a look again, take a look again, 
Take a look again 
Everyday things change, but basically they stay the same 

Forget about the reasons and 
The treasons we are seeking 
Forget about the notion that 
Our emotions can be kept at bay 
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead 
For soon we will all find our lives swept away 

You seek up an emotion 
And our cup is overflowing 
You seek up an emotion, 
Sometimes your well is dry 
You seek up a big monster 
For him to fight your wars for you 
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not 
Going--ha, ha 

Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again...
