O How the Mighty Have Fallen Lyrics

Like the snake who calls the lizard a reptile
Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown
When I tell you, "You oughta be ashamed or yourself"
I've gotta set my knees on the ground
O how the mighty have fallen
O how the reckless are crawling now
O how the mighty have fallen
Such a long way down
Thank you, please don't swing your shovel at my head, friend
No, I truly won't appreciate that sound
When you tell me I surely should atone for my sin
I hope you know the fate of the proud

O how the mighty have fallen...
