[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There was a clang in them
When they first looked on me
And said the word disgrace
If I could have spoke
I would have give what for
But, I ain t the giving type
Doctors came in herds
Touch-feathered my spine s curve,
Said the word absurd
They stood on my blindside,
brutal with their words
told them I should be thinned
[Chorus]
What they gonna do if I don t fall?
What they gonna do if I don t fall?
What they gonna do if I don t fall?
What they gonna do if I do not..
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
[Verse 2]
When they brought me home
They laid me in my trunk
And had a grieving contest
The neighbors came to see,
The door was closed too hard
Before they even could knock
I kept the town awake
Behind my fits and quakes
I heard the word mistake
They said runaway
But gravity is cruel -
We know I m some kind of useless
[Chorus]
What they gonna do if I don t fall?
What they gonna do if I don t fall?
What they gonna do if I don t fall?
What they gonna do if I do not..
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
When I came of age
I once again tried to speak
But they all just guffawed
And when I came of age
I once again tried to run,
They kept up their guffaws
Vengeance ain t yours or mine
when one ain t got a spine
so stop wasting my time
So in remembrance of me
put death in it s place
make good use of your temper
[Outro]
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
If I do not fall
