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

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