Potential For A Fall Lyrics - Sick Of It All

Here's another tale, a replay of society's failures 

out for ourselves, bred to consume in pursuit of wealth 

and the ones in charge, once secure show disregard 

for future generations who must endure what's left behind 

No compassion, no caution, no forethought 

Potential for a fall 

No forethought, no vision, no future 

Potential for a fall 

go about our lives as we turn a blind eye 

as long as i get mine 

potential for a fall 

submissive, complacent, sit back and let it slip away 

just can't seem to hold it together 

And yet we continue with the charade of being individuals 

as we get spoon-fed, kept in check by the latest trends 

are we that shallow? is getting your groove on all that matters 

i'm not asking you to bleed but show consideration please 

sit back and let it slip away 

We can't seem to hold it together we can't seem to get it right
