She was working all her life
for justice in this world
But every time
she made some gains
Someone would kick her
down again

Then damage takes its toll
The rising the falling
the rising the falling
Can you get back up again? (x2)

It's easier to tear
apart than build
Damage has momentum
of its own
It takes less time
to break things down
Than to wait around
until they're grown (x2)

She was looking all her life
for a mate that understood
But every time
she gave her heart
She ended up
scarred and alone

Then damage takes its toll
The rising the falling
the rising the falling
Can you get back up again? (x2)

It's easier to tear
apart than build
Damage has momentum
of its own
It takes less time
to break things down
Than to wait around
until they're grown (x2)
