Everyone could see him fall
And be sure its been his last hit
Hes 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 youre wrong
by some things you have done
you see fate is too strong
nothings won
no use for a fight
if youre not acting right
youll be cut down to size
like a lie
Chorus: its the rise and fall
the prize for all
that aint nice at all
luck is like a ball
you cant recall or care at all
so better use your brain
A little dragon could spit fire
But never so for something bad
He didnt know the knights desire
To throw a lance into his head
Romeo loved his juliet
Their parents told them stop
Then it all turned out peculiar
He couldnt get it up
Bridge: and its all in vain
when youre 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: its the rise and fall
the prize for all
that aint nice at all
luck is like a ball
you cant recall or care at all
you nearly go insane
A spaceman flies the rocket
That takes him to the stars
Thinks his wife is in his pocket
But shes 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 youre wrong
by some things you have done
you see fate is too strong
nothings won
no use for a fight
if youre not acting right
youll be cut down to size
like a lie
Chorus: its the rise and fall
the prize for all
that aint nice at all
luck is like a ball
you cant recall or care at all
so better use your brain
