Man on the edge

The freeway is jammed
And it´s backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don´t get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven are they looking down
´Cause nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
He´s sick of waiting of lying like this
There´s a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
Branded a leper because you don´t fit
In the land of the free
You can live by your wits
Once he built missiles a nation´s defense
Now he can´t even give birthday presents
Across the city he leaves in his wake
A glimpse of the future a canibal state
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
And it´s backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don´t get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven are they looking down
´Cause nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
He´s sick of waiting of lying like this
There´s a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
Branded a leper because you don´t fit
In the land of the free
You can live by your wits
Once he built missiles a nation´s defense
Now he can´t even give birthday presents
Across the city he leaves in his wake
A glimpse of the future a canibal state
Falling down
Falling down
