[Verse 1] Billboard money, bought a city by the face Everything you sold us came with your name on the case You renamed the river, poured your profile in the dam Told the fishermen to smile and then you taxed them by the gram Stopped your watch the night you won, said the clock was for the weak Now the clock is on the concrete and the concrete's got a leak You said gratitude is free, so you never paid for it Now the bill is at the door and the door don't split [Chorus] What you throw in the water, the water throws it back Every stone you skipped is a stone that's coming back You built it tall, it's coming down Round and round, round and round (round and round) [Verse 2] Fired the cartographer, now the map is drawing you Cut the schoolhouse budget, now the kids are quoting you Sold the topsoil in a sack, now the field is selling sand Every hand you never shook is a hand that never lands Told the crowd to point at strangers, now the fingers found your gate Every rumor that you fed is at the table for the plate You kept the lifeguards close because you never learned to swim Now the water's at the balcony and asking after him Third person on the podium, Donnie wants and Donnie needs Donnie planted every one of these, and Donnie reaps (Donnie weeps) [Chorus] What you throw in the water, the water throws it back Every stone you skipped is a stone that's coming back [Bass drop] You built it tall, it's coming down Round and round, round and round (round and round) [Bridge] Donnie what's the matter, why you so sad Did you realize it's gotten that bad? Didn't think so... Just be careful what you throw... [Chorus] What you throw in the water, the water throws it back Every stone you skipped is a stone that's coming back You built it tall, it's coming down Round and round, round and round (round and round) (round and round) [Outro] Donnie your time is up Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya...
