Climb Before The Fall Lyrics - Force Of Habit - Exodus

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
