Why Did I Fall For That Lyrics


The streets of the future littered with remains
The streets of the future littered with remains
Of both the fools and the so-called brains
Of both the fools and the so-called brains
The whole prediction is enough to kill
The whole prediction is enough to kill
But only God knows if it won't or it will
But only God knows if it won't or it will
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
Some silly creature said we'd never crack
Some silly creature said we'd never crack
Most would just survive and then bounce back
Most would just survive and then bounce back
But the rest are crying "Why'd I fall for that crap?"
But the rest are crying "Why'd I fall for that crap?"
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?

So many rash promises sincerely made
So many rash promises sincerely made
By people who believed that we were being saved
By people who believed that we were being saved
They made us all believe that we were acting white
They made us all believe that we were acting white
But the truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight
But the truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
We're impotent and neutered like whining cats
We're impotent and neutered like whining cats
We've found the piper, but we've lost the rats
We've found the piper, but we've lost the rats
But the kids are crying "Why'd I fall for that, dad?"
But the kids are crying "Why'd I fall for that, dad?"
Why did you fall?
Why did you fall?
It never rains under my umbrella
It never rains under my umbrella
Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day
Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day
Maybe if we smile, the clock'll fade away
Maybe if we smile, the clock'll fade away
Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse
Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse
Maybe a word, maybe, maybe is a curse
Maybe a word, maybe, maybe is a curse
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
We've never been taught to fight or to face up to facts
We've never been taught to fight or to face up to facts
We simply believe that we'd remain intact
We simply believe that we'd remain intact
But history is asking: why did you fall for that?
But history is asking: why did you fall for that?
Why did you fall?
Why did you fall?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?
Why did I fall for that?

The Who are an English rock band formed in Shepherd's Bush, West London, United Kingdom, in 1964. They grew to be considered one of the greatest, most influential, and awarded recording groups in the world. They are also famed for their prowess as a live band--being described as "possibly the greatest live band ever"--due to their energetic, tight, loud performances and smashing of instruments. The primary lineup was: Pete Townshend (lead guitar, vocals), Roger Daltrey (lead vocals, harmonica, percussion), John Entwistle (bass, vocals, french horn) and Keith Moon (drums, occasional vocals).

The Who rose to fame in the United Kingdom with a pioneering instrument destruction stage show, as well as a series of top ten hit singles (including the celebrated "My Generation") and top five albums, beginning in 1965 with their first single release "I Can't Explain". They first hit the top ten in the USA in 1967 with "I Can See for Miles". The 1969 release of Tommy was the first in a series of top five albums for the group in the USA, followed by Live at Leeds (1970), Who's Next (1971), Quadrophenia (1973), and Who Are You (1978). Live at Leeds is commonly cited as one of the albums that brought hard rock into the mainstream during the early 1970s.

A mere three weeks after the release of Who Are You, Keith Moon passed away from an overdose on 7 September 1978. Kenney Jones of Small Faces/Faces took over on drums after Moon's death. The band would release two more studio albums: the top five Face Dances (1981) and the top ten It's Hard (1982), before officially disbanding in 1983. They reformed on several occasions to perform at special events such as Live Aid and for reunion tours such as their 25th anniversary tour in 1989, and the Quadrophenia revival tours of 1996 and 1997.

In 2000, the three surviving original members began to discuss the possibility of recording an album of new material. These plans were delayed following the death of John Entwistle in 2002 from a cocaine-induced heart attack. However, subsequent to this, Pino Palladino became their touring bass player. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey continue to perform and record as The Who; their latest studio album, Endless Wire (2006), reached the top ten in the USA and UK.
