Tipping Point Songtext

von Martinez & Guthrie

Little by little
Bit by bit
Another rock thrown on the pile
Another piece that just won't fit
Grain by grain
Stone by stone
One gives strength to the other
Until it shifts, creaks, and groans

It's gonna tip on over

One broken window
One tag left up too long
One more thug works the corner
One less cop to move them along
Shard by shard
Needle by needle
One more family cuts and runs
There goes the curb appeal

It's gonna tip on over
It's gonna tip on over

You know is starts as such a tiny thing
You don't notice for a while
One day you wake up to find
What you know has gone out of style

Sideways glance
A wayward stare
Another case of wandering eye
Trying to see what else is there
Word by word
Jab by jab
Then one day the bill comes due
Guess who's left to pay the tab?

It's gonna tip on over
It's gonna tip on over
It's gonna tip on over
It's gonna tip on over
When will it tip over?
It's gonna tip on over
It's gonna tip
It's gonna tip on over
