When you wake up in the morning
Rub the sleep from your eyes
Take a look out your backdoor
Slowly start to realize

All you see has been borrowed
Everything is a mirage
Paid for with all your tomorrows
Spendin' small and livin' large

  Dreams are gonna tumble
  That's how the Cookie Crumbles
  How could this have ever happened to you?
  Watch it all unravel
  From face down in the gravel
  No ones comin' to save the day
  What they do is never what they say

The man says Uncle Joe is bankrupt
Your Aunt Kay has been forclosed
Honest hard workin' people
Got no place to call their home

The man says "We should've seen it comin'"
We just heard what we was told
Kept right up with them damn Joneses
We didn't know our souls were sold

  Dreams are gonna tumble
  That's how the Cookie Crumbles
  How could this have ever happened to you?
  Watch it all unravel
  From face down in the gravel
  No ones comin' to save the day
  What they do is never what they say
