Lyrics
[verse]
Everybody chasing labels, chasing things
Trying to look rich while the debt collector rings
Self-conscious 'bout the clothes we wear
Trying to buy respect that ain't really there
[verse]
She's got a degree but she's still insecure
Buying up her worth from the corner store
We spend it all just to feel complete
Then wonder why we're still stuck on repeat
[chorus]
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
Still be looking for a smile in this town
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
That's when you see who was really around
[verse]
I'm just as guilty, caught up in the same race
Chasing after status, chasing after face
But underneath it all we're looking for the same thing
Something real that don't come with a price tag string
[chorus]
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
Still be looking for a smile in this town
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
That's when you see who was really around
[bridge]
Strip away the money, strip away the name
What's left standing when it's not the same
That's the question that we oughta ask
Before we're too far gone into the mask
[chorus]
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
Still be looking for a smile in this town
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
That's when you see who was really around
