A Bully's Downfall

from Soul Purpose by Mark Mathews

/

lyrics

When you've felt like the leader of the whole, damn world.
Where everyone will bow to you and listen to your every word.
You never really imagined that it could all fade away,
So when it finally comes around you want to hide down in your grave.

You can pick your battles, but you'll fight all the wars.
It's just the karma of a bully's downfall.

When you were younger it would always seem they'd always follow you.
Too scared to break away, stuck like superglue.
But as the years fall on by they'll stop being led,
And like a sinking battleship you'll crash down on the bed.

You can pick your battles, but you'll fight all the wars.
It's just the karma of a bully's downfall.

You can pick your battles, but you'll fight all the wars.
Your machine gun rattles, but your bullets are almost gone.
You forgot what matters, now you find yourself alone.
It's just the karma of a bully's downfall.
