A house built of cards will just blow down
You thought the game was fixed but the joker's in your hand
Laughing is the only way you'll hide it
But we see it in your eyes, that cheaply made disguise
You can't chop this tree 'cause the roots run too deep.

Gonna change these things that's old and worn
Patiently is how we're waiting now for oh so long
Like the country preacher said, "Walk Tall"
I see now is time that Babylon will surely fall
Sitting in you chair wound so tightly
Knowing all along that we're hip to your game
Always peering over your shoulder
But the signs are clear, you can't hold your tears
Things you thought would last are the things of the past

Each one teach one, Jacob said
Every youth will know about the green, the black, the deepest red
Life is not a game so don't play tricks
People have no time for swindlers, beastly men and tricky Dick's
Gonna change the things that's old and worn
Patiently is how we're waiting now for oh so long
Like the country preacher said, "Walk Tall"
I see now it's time that Babylon will surely fall
Each one teach one, Jacob said
Every youth will know about the green, the black, the deepest red
Life is not a game so don't play tricks
People have no time for swindlers, beastly men and tricky Dick's
