Crumblin Down

John Cougar Mellencamp

Transposer:

Well some people    ain't no damn good. You can trust  em you can't love  em.  No good deed goes unpunished. And I don't mind  being their whippin' boy. I've had that pleasure  for years and years No no I never was a sinner.  Tell me what else can I do? Second best is what you get   till you learn to bend the rules And time respects no person  and what you lift up must fall There waitin' outside to claim my crumblin' walls. Saw my picture in the paper  read the news around my face. And now some people don't want to treat me the same. When the walls    come tumblin' down; When the walls  come crumblin' crumblin'; When the walls  come tumblin' tumblin'  down. (Intro) Well some people  say I'm obnoxious and lazy I'm uneducated my opinion means nothin'. But I know  I'm a real good dancer. Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what I'm after. Everybody's got their problems.  Ain't no new news here. I'm the same old trouble you've been havin' for years. Don't confuse the problem with the issue girl.  It's perfectly clear. Just a human desire to have you come near. Want to put my arms around you feel your breath in my ear. You can bend me you can break me but you better stand clear. When the walls    come tumblin' down; When the walls  come crumblin' crumblin'; When the walls  come tumblin' tumblin'  down. (Intro)

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désillusion face à des relations inauthentiques et au jugement des autres. L'artiste exprime son ras-le-bol d'être utilisé et mal compris, tout en réalisant que l'existence est marquée par des hauts et des bas. Il reconnaît ses défauts et ses luttes, mais insiste sur son authenticité, malgré les obstacles et les critiques. À travers cette introspection, il aborde l'idée que tout ce que l'on construit peut s'effondrer, mais un désir humain fondamental pour la connexion reste présent.
