Crumblin` Down — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

Some people ain`t no damn good
You can`t trust `em you can`t love `em
No good deed goes unpunished
And I don`t mind bein` their whippin` boy
I`ve had that pleasure for years and years
No no I never was a sinner--tell me what else can I do
Second best is what you get `til you learn to bend the rules
And time respects no person--what you lift up must fall
They`re waiting outside to claim my tumblin` walls
Saw my picture in the paper
Read the news around my face
And now some pepole don`t want to treat me the same

When the walls come tumblin` down
When the walls come crumblin` crumblin`
When the walls come tumblin` tumblin` down

Some people say I`m obnoxious and lazy
I`m uneducated--my opinion means nothin`
But I know I`m a real good dancer
Don`t need to look over my shoulder to see what I`m after
Everybody`s got their problems--ain`t no new news here
I`m the same old trouble you`ve been havin` for years
Don`t confuse the problem with the issue girl
It`s perfectly clear
Just a human desire to have you come near
Wanna put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me you can break me
But you`d better stand clear

Repeat chorus
