Everybody thinks it's so easy
Everybody thinks it's so fine
But every time I get a little closer to the top
I find myself at the end of the line
You take a slow ride up and a fast one down
Nothing's gonna stop you spinnin'
Round and round and round
Everybody's talkin' at me but nothing's soundin' right
(All comes down)
(When it all comes down)
They say my future's lookin' brighter, but I don't see no light
(When it all comes down)
I've got a bottle of hurricane, it gets me high as a kite
Now the rain's pissin' down and the storm is in sight
When the shit hits the fan, you gotta stick to the fight
Everybody says the world owes me
Everybody wants a free ride
Well, let me tell ya mister, if you never raise a blister
Then you might as well have laid down and died
'Cause you ain't gettin' out what you don't put in
You're never gonna make it if your head is in a spin
Everybody's talkin' at me but nothing's soundin' right
(All comes down)
(When it all comes down)
They say my future's lookin' brighter, but I don't see no light
(When it all comes down)
I've got a bottle of hurricane, it gets me high as a kite
Now the rain's pissin' down and the storm is in sight
When the shit hits the fan, you gotta stick to the fight
Can you feel the heat, yeah, comin' down on you?
(When it all comes down)
When it all comes down watcha gonna do?
Feel it comin' down on you now, yeah
(When it all comes down)
When it all comes down
(When it all comes down)
When it all comes down
(When it all comes down)
Can ya feel it, feel it, feel it comin' down on you?
Can ya stick to the fight
When the heat's comin' down on you?
(When it all comes down)
Oh, take me
(When it all comes down)
When it all comes down, yeah
