Tribulation

With envy you stare
They're carefree and gay
All ducks in their places
Beaming as the sun's first ray

Upon closer inspection
Through acne scared years
The silk veil is lifted
That hides their tears

For the higher they fly is
The further they'll fall
In all forms it comes
But must come to all
Tribulation, tribulation, tribulation

Divorce, death, loss of health or career
Corrodes the Ferrari till stuck in low gear
We all want the high life
Give me more, more, more, more
But the operation is planned
To cut soul to the core

For the higher they fly
The further they'll fall
In all forms it comes
It must come to all
Tribulation, tribulation, tribulation

They may have been beaming
Success, promise, cash
Tribulation cometh to turn all to ash...Tribulation

We can't avoid it, we all get a turn
Cancel an appointment, he'll schedule your return
Choose carefully your medicine, 
tis the crux of life's test
Call the good doctor, or burn with the rest

For the higher they fly
The further they'll fall
In all forms it comes
It must come to all
Tribulation, tribulation, tribulation (repeat)
