lyrics

Please don’t point the finger at me
Please do not make me cry
I’ve had such a wretched life, yes
But it’s not yet time to die
I’d rather go and make sure
My house is built on solid ground
And should a stormy wind blow
I’ll be standing where I’m standing now
What about you then
What about you then

Is there anywhere you’d rather be
When your house is falling down
Is there any place you’d rather stay
When the walls are tumbling down
Falling down upon your pretty little feet
Falling down upon your pretty little feet

It’s so easy to be spiteful
So easy to be cruel
To make fun of other people
Who are doing worse than you
But have you tried to show love
To comfort those who need you most
Or have you spent your whole life
Trying to vanish like a ghost
What about you now
What about you now

Is there anywhere you’d rather be
When your house is falling down
Is there any place you’d rather stay
When the walls are tumbling down
Falling down upon your pretty little feet
Falling down upon your pretty little feet

Is there anything you want to say
Now that you can’t be safe and sound
Is there anything you’d wish you had done
Now that your house has fallen down
Fallen down upon your pretty little feet
Fallen down upon your pretty little feet
Fallen down upon your pretty little feet
Fallen down upon your pretty little feet
