Like the snake who calls the lizard a reptile Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown When I tell you, "You oughta be ashamed or yourself" I've gotta set my knees on the ground O how the mighty have fallen O how the reckless are crawling now O how the mighty have fallen
Such a long way down Thank you, please don't swing your shovel at my head, friend No, I truly won't appreciate that sound When you tell me I surely should atone for my sin I hope you know the fate of the proud O how the mighty have fallen...
