There's nothing here worth saving, is no one here at all?  is there any net
left that could break our fall?  it'll be a day like this one when the sky
falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found are you
discontented?  have you been pushing hard?  have you been through and down
this broken house of cards?  it'll be a day like this one when the world
caves in when the world caves in when the world caves in

just as I could find you, do the wicked never lose?  is there any honest
song to sing besides these blues?  and nothing is okay till the world caves
in till the world caves in till the world caves in till the world caves in
till the world caves in until the world caves in until the world caves in
until the world caves in until the world caves in until the world caves in
until the world caves in
