[Intro]
[Verse]
When I was a boy there s a dream that I had
That a war if it s fought was for good against bad
And I woke up to find that the world had gone mad
And we d all fall down
And I feel like a child again sitting observing
You re toying with power, your fingers are burning
You re pushing so hard that the worms won t be turning
We ll all fall down
While you try to pretend you re a god upon high
With your party ideals and your squeaky clean lies
When it comes to the crunch you re not smarter than I
And we ll all fall down
If it s colour or creed or your old time religion
Well fighting for that shows a pure lack of vision
The fight that we strive is the fight to survive
And we ll all fall down
Well look in the mirror and what do you see
An American, Russian, a soldier or me
When you ve all pressed the buttons just where will you be
When we all fall down

[Verse]
It gets harder to see just what future s in store for us
Hard to see through all the wool you pull over us
Words that you give are just words to console us
We ll all fall down
And what will you do when you ve pulled the release
When the sound of the thunder has drowned out the pleas
Cos after all that was your idea of peace
When we all fall down
No sun for a world that once stood so tall
No wind s going to blow and no rain s going to fall
No flowers for graves, in fact no graves at all
When we all fall down
[Instrumental]
