A mother has her baby boys and a father doesn't call
From this saddening parody, someone will have to crawl
Crawl through all the dark memories, everyone and all
'Cause there's just one way that you can stand
Too many ways to fall
All we have is here and now, tomorrow may not come true
'Cause there's a million people who walk this ground
Who might steal your wish from you
A million people, maybe not a human one at all
'Cause there's just one way that we can stand
Too many ways to fall
Too many ways to fall
Well they might be on the fire escape
Could be down the hall
They could be watching every move you make
Through the pinhole in the wall
They're sworn to their duty and they stand so proud and tall
You know they say, it's nothing personal
It's just a job, it's just a job, that's all
The mother says, now baby boy, you're gonna have to choose
There's good and evil, love and greed, and they're all inside of you
And just as sure as gravity, no one escapes this law
There's just one way that we can stand
Too many ways, too many ways, too many ways to fall
Too many ways to fall
Too many ways to fall
Too many ways to fall
So when you wake up in the bushes, pa**ed out on the lawn
And suddenly it dawns on you that mother wasn't wrong
It all comes back like deja vu, you just can't help but recall
'Cause there's just one way that we can stand
Too many ways, too many ways, too many ways to fall
Too many ways to fall
Too many ways to fall
Too many ways to fall
