Downfall

Under the bridge by the grassy knoll

We're taking shelter from the acid rain

Caught in the midst of the centerfold

Caught in the midst of the hands of fate

The children roam the streets in rags and tattered boots

They're coughing up blood as they shine your shoes

The smog swallows the city by the afternoon

And everybody getting high off the toxic fumes

Yeah, got the people acting bougie

Getting particularly lit on a Tuesday

Walk around the streets in a fugue state

Popping sedative pills for your toothache

Yeah, now they're fixing up the broken homes

Path of destruction by a violent storm

Well, here's a little summit for your troubles

And a little for the lekky bills

Sound the alarm and finalize

Cause I'm taking back what's rightfully mine

The cost of living or the value of life

Seems like they're close but you're paying the price

Still in the corner by the warning sign

Chewing on the Xanax and the phenergan

It's funny how the only thing that makes you feel alive

It's the very thing that's killing you

Downfall

And everyone goes back to zero

Oh, and she's got me begging for the downfall

Now I'm tearing down everything we worked for

Drop it, yeah

And I'm always acting out of pocket

Since a yute I used to walk around like a prophet, nah

But we were just a couple of wrongers

With straight voddy out the lucazade bottle, yeah

So take a swig as the empire falls

Society will collapse as the market drops

Turn off the power and stop the clocks

The shops are closed, all bets are off

Yeah, self-improvement for your mental health

And self-destruction for your therapy

They gave you PVA to superglue your missing teeth

And two pills for the unfixable thought machine

Yeah, seems like you met with a violent end

Swallowed by a tidal wave of black molasses

When they come for me, that's a minor
