there s a day of feasting and a day of famine day of sadness and a day of joy you could see in the day of feasting life isn t just a little play like toy so the day arrived when you least expected cos you always thought you were well protected now you feel like a fish out of water so now you re wondering what s the matter oh remember you said it wouldn t happen to you now you re thinking how to start a new a drowning man will catch at a straw you were warned but you wouldn t take heed everything in creation must obey a law its true in words as it is in deed you were so puffed up in your pomps and pride you re exposed you got none to hide yes you used to look down on the folks beside you never they think you would have come down too remember they said you got to reap what you sow simple truth everybody know chorus oh what are you on a house of exile watching you now on your own last mile yes what are you on a house of exile watching you now on your own last mile music interlude oh what are you on a house of exile watching you now on your own last mile o oh what are you on a house of exile watching you now on your own last mile everything in creation must obey a law its true in words as it is in deed
