SOMEBODY’S GOTTA TAKE THE FALL
V1
Got into a tiff with your old lady last night
Ain’t been treatin’ her right and you know it
Now, she’s doin’ the leavin’, you’re doin’ the cryin’
Risin’ above it you gotta forgo it
V2
A foreign body has infiltrated the White House
Congress and the Senate do as they’re told
President’s but a high-paid puppet
And the second-time around he’s lookin’ old
[Chorus]
Somebody’s gotta take the fall
Oh, and somebody’s gotta make the call
You may feel high above it all
But somebody’s gotta take the fall
V3
There can only be one black sheep of the family
And just like that lowly housemaid
Something gets broken, somethin’ goes missin’
Cranky customer callin’ a spade a spade
[Chorus]
Somebody’s gotta take the fall
Oh, and somebody’s gotta make the call
You may feel high above it all
But somebody’s gotta take the fall
[Music]
V4
And the One who takes the most falls of all
Is the One who gets the most blame
No greater scapegoat has there ever been
Than the One with the holiest name
[Chorus]
Somebody’s gotta take the fall
Like somebody’s gotta make the call
You may feel high above it all
But somebody’s gotta take the fall, one more
Somebody’s gotta take the fall
Oh, and somebody’s gotta make the call
You may feel high above it all
But somebody, somebody’s gotta take the fall
You may feel high above it all
But somebody’s gotta take the fall.

@HummerWisdom - maybe it's because I just woke up. but, this reads like somebody on two hours sleep and handful of 5-hour energy drinks. :).. but kudo's for getting the word Tiff in a song. I'm not sure if this was intended or not, but ray stevens comes to mind :) .. love that picture of the guy falling. it completes the song. this made my morning 😂😍
