Ultravox - All Fall Down Lyrics
When I was a boy there's a dream that I hadThat a war if it's fought was for good against badAnd I woke up to find that the world had gone madAnd we'd all fall downAnd I feel like a child again sitting observingYou're toying with power, your fingers are burningYou're pushing so hard that the worms won't be turningWe'll all fall downWhile you try to pretend you're a god upon highWith your party ideals and your squeaky clean liesWhen it comes to the crunch you're no smarter than IAnd we'll all fall downIf it's colour or creed or your old time religionWell fighting for that shows a pure lack of visionThe fight that we strive is the fight to surviveAnd we'll all fall downWell look in the mirror and what do you seeAn American, Russian, a soldier or meWhen you've all pressed the buttons just where will you beWhen we all fall downIt gets harder to see just what future's in store for usHard to see through all the wool you pull over usWords that you give are just words to console usWe'll all fall downAnd what will you do when you've pulled the releaseWhen the sound of the thunder has drowned out the pleasCos after all that was your idea of peaceWhen we all fall downNo sun for a world that once stood so tallNo wind's going to blow and no rain's going to fallNo flowers for graves, in fact no graves at allWhen we all fall down
