Lyrics

And it all falls down, yeah
 And it all falls down, again
 And it all falls down, yeah
 And it all falls down
 How can you learn how to swim before you get in?
 Sometimes you got to take a plunge just to get in
 Life's not full of shallow ends
 Your house ain't full of armbands
 Stay afloat, someone might put their arm out to help you
 I don't know, I would
 If I saw somebody drowning in a sea of self-confusion
 I wanna be the one to try and understand
 Why their tide ain't coming in
 And their lighthouse ain't shining, mmh
 So why do we all fall down?
 If there's a reason we can stay afloat
 Why do we watch them drown?
 We're too selfish in the lifeboats
 Why do we all fall down?
 If there's a reason we can stay afloat
 Why do we watch them drown?
 So why are all the richest staying afloat?
 Seeing all my brothers drowning
 Even though they nicked the boat
 Mothership ain't helping anyone
 See the ships are getting bigger
 Full of greedy wasteful men
 Soaking kids with lies before they even got to ten
 Sailing the internet waves, a tsunami of wires
 A flood to take us under if we can't afford the life jackets
 Majority don't even have the life jacket
 Majority might fall where the tax brackets
 The minority might jump to the next bracket
 On a form to sign up for a raft and pay packet
 With the same old unemployed age bracket
 Even money sinks to the bottom when it's waterlogged
 So, nobody true stays afloat
 ♪
 So why do we all fall down?
 If there's a reason we can stay afloat
 Why do we watch them drown?
 We're too selfish in the lifeboats
 Why do we all fall down?
 If there's a reason we can stay afloat
 Why do we watch them drown?
 And it all falls down, yeah
 And it all falls down, again
 And it all falls down, yeah
 And it all falls down
