So many rash promises sincerly made By people who believed that we were being saved They made us all believe that we were acting white But truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight Nobody knows why we fell so flat We're impotent and neutered like whining cats We've found the piper but we've lost the rats But the kids are crying, "Why'd you fall for that, dad?"

Why did you fall? Bm A D A Why did I fall for that Why did I fall for that Why did I fall for that ============= litgo@aol.com
