Fall of a Common Man

He has felt it calling In the dead of night That rage like thunder Preparing him to fight A switchblade flashing And the screams of pain People back down now Here he goes again Heeds the voices calling, it's the Fall of a common man Ain't no coming back again from a Fall of a common man Oh no Been a long time coming Always on the edge The smallest infraction Could have pushed him off the ledge Now it's finally happened All hell breaks loose And it's all downhill now As he's heading for the noose He never meant for it to go so far Fall of a common man Ain't no coming back again from a Fall of a common man Oh no No one ever thinks their life will turn out the way it does But who's to say, in what way, you're ever in control Just a twist of destiny decides where you will go All that's up to you and me is what to make of it all
