Exodus Climb Before The Fall Lyrics

Climb Before The Fall Lyrics

He was just a poor boy livin' down by the railroad tracks

His father worked so hard to provide that he died of a cardiac

He made himself a promise to leave the poverty behind

Now climbing up the corporate ladder

is all that matters in his grand design



You can forget about friends in your climb before your fall

The climb before the fall

Alone at the top you feel the pressure pulling you

And you try in your mind

to repent your sins in your climb before your fall

The climb before the fall

Change your ways or you will pay in your dying days

In the end, in the end, in the end



Sunrise now and he has to get to work,

he's gotta tell someone what to do

Lives his life thinkin' how to get ahead,

kickin' of his corporate shoes

Throws his credit cards in everyone's face,

name droppin' 'cause he thinks it's cool

Doesn't realize he doesn't know how to act,

he's just lookin' like a complete fool



He left everyone he loved alone out in the cold

His mother was standing in the welfare line

while he was up to his neck in gold

Now he's become a millionaire

and he's sitting right at the top

But he found that the higher up the mountain

means the longer that you're gonna drop
