Falls To Climb

R.E.M.

Up

I'll take the position, assume the missionary part
You work by committee, you had me pegged from the start
I'll be pounce pony, phony maroney, pony before the cart
I'll be pounce pony, this ceremony only fills my heart

Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?

A punch toy volunteer, a weakling on its knee
Is all you want to hear and all you want to see
Romantically, you'd martyr me and miss this story's point
It is my strength, my destiny, this is the role that I have chosen

Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?
Why not me?

Gentlemen, mark your opponents, fire into your own ranks
Pick the weakest as strategic move, square off to meet your enemy
For each and every gathering, a scapegoat falls to climb
As I step forward, silently, deliberately mine

Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?
Why not me?

Had consequence chose differently
Had fate its ugly head
My actions make me beautiful
And dignify the flesh

Me
I am free
I am free
