| | Why did I | fall for | that? |
| 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?" |

| Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day |
| Maybe if we smile the clock'll fade away |
| Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse |
| Maybe is a word, maybe maybe's a curse |
| Nobody knows why we fell so flat |
| We've never been taught to fight or face up to facts |
| We simply believe that we'd remain intact |
| But history is asking "Why did you fall for that?" |
