Can't disregard our troubles Still inclined to try What will you tell your children? It's piling up around us The rubble and the rust But we've got all distractions that we need to cover our sight Don't break the illusion Fame and fortune, for everyone, who tries The fat man has us building a tower Higher and higher But the higher we go, the harder we'll fall... Aaaaa... Keep blowing up the bubble Coughing up exhaust The cogwheels keep on turning Our legacy is tarnished With our heads in the sand This house of cards won't stand against a breeze, here comes the storm Don't break the illusion Fame and fortune, for everyone, who tries The fat man has us building a tower Higher and higher But the higher we go, the harder we will fall... Aaaaa..
