What an awful mess
It's a spiderweb of stress
How can you move on
When you're strength is all gone?
Everybody bails
And you think you will fail
But I won’t let you down
I won’t let you down
World might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I'll never let you down
I don't have hedge funds
Or callipygian buns
Sometimes I space out
Or get overcome by doubt
But I will be right here
Till we all disappear
I won’t let you down
I won’t let you down
World might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I'll never let you down
'Cause I learned the hard way
What it’s like to be used
You get your hopes puffed up
Then beaten down and abused
Your father is a brag
Your mother is a nag
Your brother a snitch
Your boss is a witch
Nobody’s nice
But look in my eyes
I won’t let you down
I won’t let you down
World might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I'll never let you down
I won’t let you down
I won’t let you down
World might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I'll never let you down
I won’t let you down
World might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I'll never let you down
I Won't Let You Down

Lyrics
What an awful mess
They put a hole in your dress
How can we get hitched
With a curse on your lips?
These people done fucked up
And now you stuck
But I won’t flake on you
I won’t flake on you
World might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I won’t flake on you
I got no duckets
To buy you a ship
Sometimes I space out
Or get overcome by doubt
But I'm-a be right here
Till we all disappear
I won’t flake on you
I won’t flake on you
World might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I won’t flake on you
'Cause I learned the hard way
What it’s like to be used
You get your hopes brought up
Then beaten down and abused
Daddy is a brag
And Mommy is a nag
Little bro’s a snitch
Your boss is a bitch
Nobody’s nice
So look in my eyes
I won’t flake on you
I won’t flake on you
World might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I'll never flake on you
I won’t flake on you
I won’t flake on you
World might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I'll never flake on you
Doo-doo-doo
The world might crumble
Into a pile of rubble
But I'll never flake on you
