[Verse]
A D A
The towers of London, these crumbling rocks
D F#m
Reality estates that the hero's got
Bm G
And every hour's marked by the chime of a clock
[Verse]
A D
And whatcha gonna do when the darkness surrounds?
A D
You can piss in the lifts which have broken down
F#m D
You can watch from the debris the last bedroom light
F#m D A D F#m D
We're invisible here just past midnight
[Verse]
A D A
And the wives hate their husbands and their husbands don't care
D F#m
Their children daub slogans to prove they lived there
Bm G
A giant pipe organ up in the air
[Verse]
A D
Can't live in a home which should not have been built
A D
By the bourgeois clerks who bear no guilt
F#m D
When the wind hits this building this building it tilts
F#m D E A D A D Bm G
One day it will surely fall to the ground...
[Verse]
A D A
Fear is just another commodity here
D F#m
They sell us peeping holes to peek when we hear
Bm G
A bang on the door resoundingly clear
[Verse]
A D
Who would really want to move in here?
A D
The children play faraway, the corridors are bare
F#m D
This room is a cage its like captivity
F#m D E A D
How can anyone exist in such misery?
A D A D Bm G
It has been said not only here
[Verse]
A D
Allianza dollars are spent
A D
To raise the towering buildings
A D
For the weary bones of the workers
Bm G
To go back in the morning
A D A D
It has been said not only here
A D A
The towers of London, these crumbling rocks
D F#m
Reality estates that the hero's got
Bm G
And every hour's marked by the chime of a clock
