Like Joseph Stalin I've faded I've fallen
I use to be august I use to be august
Mr. chairman of the board it all started with a major chord
I was so taken in ignored those tiny weeping violins
But since I hit rock bottom all I want to know is
Who moves my legacy along now that my friends I thought were friends are gone?
I wish I could see we always have a song to sing
You will always have loving to bring
And there will always be people beautiful faces
Passing us on the side walk going to other places
I'm just like the next man
No real reason for me to be stressed about it
The world spins fast those kinks won't last
I'll come to terms with myself and my past and sing
Like Joseph Stailin I've faded I've fallen
I use to be august I use to be august
Now washed up retired my shelf-life expired
I use to be august I use to be august
I remember the machine
See my folks were working class
The papers read I was
Stops then comes the day
Like Joseph Stailin I've faded I've fallen
I use to be august I use to be august
