Exodus - Climb Before The Fall lyrics

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
