Watch Me Fall (Uncle Tupelo)

Some folks find
that their role in life
is to fail
at everything they try
while other folks see
but not like me
There's one thing
That they're damn good at

Gather around you all
Come around and see
Those who stand tall
Why don't you please watch me fall

The hole it is wide
and it's there to divide
it's no one's fault,
It's put there by design
and there's a bridge yet to build
as many men have willed
that can stand the weight
of all those who wish to pass

Gather around you all
Come around and see
Those who stand tall
Why don't you please watch me fall
