People put you down
Ain’t nothing you can do about it
You’ve got something you want
Then you have to do without it
That’s the way the cookie crumbles

People wind you up
Rubbing you up the wrong way
They make you feel so small
There’s nothing you can say
That’s the way
The cookie crumbles

Broken today
Cookie crumbles
Cookie crumbling
Tiny bits
Life crumbling
Into the pits
