Crumblin' Down
Well, some people ain't no damn good
You can't trust 'em, you can't love 'em
No good deed goes unpunished
And I don't mind being their whipping boy
I've had that pleasure for years and years
No, no, I never was a sinner, tell me, what else can I do?
Second best is what you get 'til you learn to bend the rules
And time respects no person, and what you lift up must fall
They're waitin' outside to claim my tumblin' walls
Saw my picture in the paper
Read the news around my face
And now some people don't
Wanna treat me the same
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin' down
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Well, some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy
I'm uneducated, my opinion means nothin'
But I know I'm a real good dancer
Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what I'm after
Everybody's got their problems, ain't no new news here
I'm the same old trouble you've been having for years
Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl, it's perfectly clear
Just for human desire to have you come near
Wanna put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me, you can break me
But you'd better stand clear
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
Crumblin', tumblin' down
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come rumblin', rumblin'
When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin', tumblin' down, yeah
I wanna put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me, you can break me
But you'd better stand clear
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
Crumblin', tumblin'
When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin' down
When the walls (when the walls) come crumblin', crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
Crumblin', tumblin'
When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
Crumblin', tumblin' down
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls
You can't trust 'em, you can't love 'em
No good deed goes unpunished
And I don't mind being their whipping boy
I've had that pleasure for years and years
No, no, I never was a sinner, tell me, what else can I do?

When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
Crumblin', tumblin'
When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
Crumblin', tumblin' down
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls
