[Music + lyrics: M. Weikath]



Once a singer sang 'bout bullshit

everyone could see him fall

and be sure it's been his last hit

he's never been seen at all



Some dictator felt progressive

and lay down in the sun

but his people were aggressive

they killed him with a gun



Bridge: Sometimes you're wrong

by some things you have done

you see fate is too strong

nothing's won

no use for a fight

if you're not acting right

you'll be cut down to size

like a lie



Chorus: It's the rise and fall

the prize for all

that ain't nice at all

luck is like a ball

you can't recall or care at all

so better use your brain



A little dragon could spit fire

but never so for something bad

he didn't know the knight's desire

to throw a lance into his head



Romeo loved his Juliet

their parents told them "Stop"

then it all turned out peculiar

he couldn't get it up



Bridge: And it's all in vain

when you're living with pain

reap not goods you have grown

by your own

feelings you like

disappear overnight

you sip up every grin

free to win



Chorus: It's the rise and fall

the prize for all

that ain't nice at all

luck is like a ball

you can't recall or care at all

you nearly go insane



[Solo: both/Kai/Mike]



A spaceman flies the rocket

that takes him to the stars

thinks his wife is in his pocket

but she's strolling 'round in bars



The king of Los Angeles

bought himself a teddy bear

and the queen became shameless

she did it with a chair



Bridge: Sometimes you're wrong

by some things you have done

you see fate is too strong

nothing's won

no use for a fight

if you're not acting right

you'll be cut down to size

like a lie



Chorus: It's the rise and fall

the prize for all

that ain't nice at all

luck is like a ball

you can't recall or care at all

so better use your brain
