A man of great ambition he pushed himself to ....
A man upon a mission with great riches to achieve
All his friends admired him
And every word they trusted and believed
And the odds seemed forever in his favour
He made a sound investment in his own abilities
A healthy clientele and some committed employees
Well regarded in the town, money to be made, and cash be found
And the odds seem forever in his favour
Chorus:
Sooner or later the man is bound to fall!
Won’t find ...
Sooner or later empires are bound to fall!
[might be "Sooner or later the market's bound to fall. One fine day Sir, sooner or later the empire's bound to fall"]
The wind blows forever without waver
....
But the odds were not endeavored
Forever in your favour!
He bought a grander house on a more expensive street
Quite a price to pay for a place to rest his feet
Felt the water rise before he knew it wasn’t all ...
...
Still he thought he had the odds in his favour
He had to disappoint you, the banker did not yield
The string of repossessions, his wife’s expensive heels
But sitting down upon the kerb he felt a sudden feeling of relief
And he knew the odds were far from in his favour
A man upon a mission with great riches to achieve
All his friends admired him
And every word they trusted and believed
And the odds seemed forever in his favour
He made a sound investment in his own abilities
A healthy clientele and some committed employees
Well regarded in the town, money to be made, and cash be found
And the odds seem forever in his favour
Chorus:
Sooner or later the man is bound to fall!
Won’t find ...
Sooner or later empires are bound to fall!
[might be "Sooner or later the market's bound to fall. One fine day Sir, sooner or later the empire's bound to fall"]
The wind blows forever without waver
....
But the odds were not endeavored
Forever in your favour!
He bought a grander house on a more expensive street
Quite a price to pay for a place to rest his feet
Felt the water rise before he knew it wasn’t all ...
...
Still he thought he had the odds in his favour
He had to disappoint you, the banker did not yield
The string of repossessions, his wife’s expensive heels
But sitting down upon the kerb he felt a sudden feeling of relief
And he knew the odds were far from in his favour
