Beats Me SE - The Rise and Fall Lyrics

At first there were just us
And then we bought some more
Then new parts came along
We never had enough

We never took a rest
Just going for the best
No consolidation
Led to deep frustration

Before you turned around
The boss bought something new
No one asked what it was
We never had enough

We did not understand
We were too speed blinded
Too much of trust we had
For just one single man

We were flying high above
The ground that we were standing on

We were flying high above
There's no ground left we could stand on

Our soul was lost and gone
There is no ground control
No money's coming in
I think we had enough

Cut up, sell off, survive
Cut up, sell off, survive
Pay fine, pay fine, prevail
Pay fine, pay fine, prevail

This ends the great affair
We were falling all apart
The rise and fall of a good company
That's the way that it was
