O How the Mighty Have Fallen

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Derri Daugherty] Like the snake who calls the lizard a reptile Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown When I tell you, "You oughta be ashamed or yourself" I've gotta set my knees on the ground [Chorus 1: Derri Daugherty] O how the mighty have fallen O how the reckless are crawling now O how the mighty have fallen Such a long way down [Verse 2: Derri Daugherty] Thank you, please don't swing your shovel at my head, friend No, I truly won't appreciate that sound When you tell me I surely should atone for my sin I hope you know the fate of the proud [Chorus 1: Derri Daugherty] O how the mighty have fallen O how the reckless are crawling now O how the mighty have fallen Such a long way down [Bridge: Marc Byrd] I'm already dying I'm already flying Toward the sun Toward the sun [Verse 1: Derri Daugherty] Like the snake who calls the lizard a reptile Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown When I tell you, "You oughta be ashamed or yourself" I've gotta set my knees on the ground [Chorus 2: Derri Daugherty and Marc Byrd] O how the mighty have fallen (Such a long way) O how the drunk man is crawling now (A long way down) O how the mighty have fallen Such a long way down (Such a long way) Such a long way down (A long way down) Such a long way down
