| Sing a song for the wrong and the wicked
|
| And the strong and the sick, as thick as thieves
|
| For the faceless fear that was never so near
|
| Too clear to misbelieve
|
| Well the sea is jumping salty
|
| And the porpoise has the blues
|
| My recollection’s faulty
|
| And I cannot find my shoes
|
| And my wiring is misfiring
|
| Due to cigarettes and booze
|
| I’m behind in my dues
|
| I just now got the news
|
| He seems to tell us lies
|
| And still we will believe him
|
| Then together he will lead us
|
| Into darkness, my friends
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
|
| Man says: ''Stand to one side, son
|
| We got to keep this big ball rolling
|
| It’s just a question of controlling
|
| For whom the bell is tolling''
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
|
| ''There'll be suffering and starvation
|
| In the streets, young man''
|
| Just where have you been, old man?
|
| Just look out of your window man
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
|
| Well, it isn’t nobody’s fault but our own
|
| Still, at least we might could show the good sense
|
| To know when we’ve been wrong
|
| And it’s already taken too long
|
| So we bring it to a stop
|
| Then we take it from the top
|
| We let it settle on down softly
|
| Like your gently falling snow
|
| Or let it tumble down and topple
|
| Like the temple long ago
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
|
| Keep hollerin' timber, timber, I hope it don’t fall on me
|
| I’m hollerin' timber, whoa, timber, let it all fall down
|
| Go on, let it fall down, let it fall down let it all fall down together
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
|
| Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down |
