سقوط

Grandpa said to cousin Jed, sitting on the porch

"I won't retire but I might retread

Seems like that guy singing this song been doing it for a long time

Is there anything he knows that he ain't said?"

"Sing the song for freedom, sing a song for love

Sing a song for depressed angels falling from above"

Grandpa held the paper pretendin' he could see

But he couldn't read without his glasses on

"How can all these people afford so many things?

When I was young people wore what they had on"

And mama said

"A little love and affection in everything you do

Will make the world a better place with or without you"

A little love and affection in everything you do

Slammin' down a late night shot, the hero and the artist compared

Goals and visions and afterthoughts for the 21st century

But mostly came up with nothin' so the truth was never learned

And the human race just kept rolling on[Chorus]

Rolling through the fighting, rolling through the religious wars

Rolling down the temple walls and the church's exposed sores

Rolling through the fighting, the religious wars

Mostly came up with nothin'

"Grandpa here's your glasses, you'll see much better now,"

Said that young girl of Edith and Earl's

But Grandpa just kept staring, he was lost in some distant thought

Then he turned and said to that young girl

"A little love and affection in everything you do

Will make the world a better place with or without you"

With or without you, a better place

With or without you, with or without you

Hear that rooster crowing down on the Double E

It's a new morning dawning on the green

Bouncing off the towers and the sun's heading down for the streets

The business meeting window shades are drawn

Another morning edition headed for the porch

Because Grandma puts down the paper before Grandpa raises his fork[Chorus]

A little love and affection in everything you do

With or without you

Hear the rooster crowing down on the Double E
