Before the Fall Lyrics by The Hellacopters

Rock & Roll Is Dead

2005

[Verse 1]
Got beggars and clerks
Got teachers and kids
Elected men off work
Defrocked preachers forbid

[Chorus 1]
I wonder how they can stand it
Or if they care at all
As they waste the last few days
Before the fall

[Verse 2]
Homesick prisoners
And party throwers
With all their honored guests
And their going nowheres

[Chorus 2]
You know i cannot be bothered
Just ain't no point at all
I've done a lot of screaming
But no one would heed the call
Before the fall
Before the fall
Before the fall

[Verse 3]
Talk show hosts
Prophets and the police
Swinging bachelor ghosts
And lone divorcees

[Chorus 3]
I don't wanna hear no more
Not a word about this at all
No use to keep on screaming
'Cause no one will head the call
Before the fall
Before the fall
Before the fall
