There's a small matter of discrepancy   It's a small matter but it worries me   If I could, I'd forget the history   But you reap what you've sowed   Every break in the road      Tear it down with your own hands      When I was a child, I knew everything   With a clear logic and a reasoning   Once I could even see it happening   But it's too great a load   Every break in the road      Tear it down with your own hands      I'm so sorry that you're dead   I wish you could have stayed alive   Found an ounce of peace of comfort and survived      The eyes of a stranger on the morning train   Bear a cool witness to another's pain   If you look closely we are all insane   It's just too great a load   Every break in the road      Tear it down with your own hands      I'm so sorry that you're dead   I wish you could have stayed alive   Find an ounce of peace of comfort and survived      It's a deep souled kind of poverty   It's a short ride to the hell to be   With a weight heavier than gravity   Do you reap what you've sowed   Every break in the road      Tear it down with your own hands      It's too great a load every break in the road   Tear it down   It's too great a load every break in the road   With your own hands   It's too great a load every break in the road
