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.
