The Fall
Len Lucieer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for the thought of that money that was due to arrive.
Ain't got no difficulty
to be holding their own keeps them feelin alive.
By now anything goes,
their desire keeps burning starts to cut like a knive,
they will all come falling down.
go and seize whatever's there that should be comming to you.
Ain't no claim better than yours,
you just keep to yourself, make your own plan and follow it through.
Fighting on, keep fighting on,
ain't no doubt they will all come falling down.
Fighting on,
ain't gonna let nobody stand in their way,
keep fighting on,
ain't nobody foolin them to sit down and wait,
they will all come falling down.
No need to justify,
cause you're only just taking what is rightfully yours.
Might be ending up all alone,
you'll be taking that chance if it'll open some doors,
they will all come falling down.
Fighting on, keep fighting on.
