Ultravox - All Fall Down lyrics

Album: Dancing With Tears In My Eyes (1997)

When I was a boy theres a dream that I had
That a war if it is fought was for good against bad
And I woke up to find that the world had gone mad
And we would all fall down

And I feel like a child again sitting observing
You are toying with power, your fingers are burning
You are pushing so hard that the worms won´t be turning
We will all fall down

While you try to pretend you are a god upon high
With your party ideals & your squeaky clean lies
When it comes to the crunch you are no smarter than I
And we will all fall down

If it is 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 will all fall down

Well look in the mirror & what do you see
An American, Russian, a soldier or me
When you have all pressed the buttons just where will you be
When we all fall down

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 will all fall down

And what´ll you do when you have 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 gonna blow & no rain´s gonna fall
No flowers for graves, in fact no graves at all
When we all fall down
