The Harder They Fall - Abandon Kansas

We all want what we deserve

Unless it’s going to hurt

And I would rather earn my bread

Off the sweat of someone else’s face

Than use my own strength

We work so hard to reserve this dream

That’s a nightmare

And now my eyes are used to the dark

There is no one left

Who isn’t better than the rest

I need to hear you say that I’m the best

Absurdity reigns

And confusion makes it look good

A poor man’s kingdom

Or a rich man’s delusion

Mad men in authority hear voices in the air

Distilling their frenzy

From academic scribblers in despair

We work so hard to reserve this dream

That’s a nightmare

And now my eyes are used to the dark

There is no one left

Who isn’t better than the rest

I need to hear you say

There is no one left

Who isn’t better than the rest

I need to hear you say that I’m the best

The bigger they are

The harder they fall

Your ego is swelling

Your heart is so small

The bigger they are

The harder they fall

Your ego is swelling

Your heart is so small

The bigger they are

The harder they fall

Your ego is swelling

Your heart is so small

The bigger they are

The harder they fall

Your ego is swelling

There is no one left

Who isn’t better than the rest

I need to hear you say

The bigger they are

The harder they fall
