[Verse 1]
EmWhen I was a boy there's a

[Verse 2]
EmAnd I feel like a child again
Dsitting observing
EmYou're toying with power,
Dyour fingers are burning
EmYou're pushing so hard that the
Bmworms won't be turning
AWe'll all fall
Ddown
[Verse 3]
EmWhile you try to pretend you're a
Dgod upon high ,With your
Emparty ideals and your
Dsqueaky clean lies
EmWhen it comes to the crunch
Bmyou're not smarter than I
AAnd we'll all
Dfall down
[Break]
|   Am   C|   G   Em|   Am   C|   G   Am|
[Verse 4]
EmIf it's colour or creed or your
Dold time religion
EmWell fighting for that shows a
Dpure lack of vision
EmThe fight that we strive is the
Bmfight to survive
AAnd we'll all
Dfall down
[Verse 5]
EmWell look in the mirror and
Dwhat do you see
EmAn American, Russian, a 
Dsoldier or me
EmWhen you've all pressed the buttons
Bmjust where will you be
AAnd we'll all
Dfall down
[Break]
|   Am   C|   G   Em|   Am   C|   G   Am|
[Verse 6]
EmIt gets harder to see just what 
Dfuture's in store for us
EmHard to see through all the  
Dwool you pull over us
EmWords that you give are just
Bmwords to console us
AWhen we all
Dfall down
[Verse 7]
EmAnd what will you do when you've
Dpulled the release
EmWhen the sound of the thunder has
Ddrowned out the pleas
EmCos after all that was your
Bmidea of peace
AWhen we all
Dfall down
[Break]
|   Am   C|   G   Em|   Am   C|   G   Am|
[Verse 8]
EmNo sun for a world that
Donce stood so tall
EmNo wind's going to blow and
Dno rain's going to fall
EmNo flowers for graves, in fact
Bmno graves at all
AWhen we all
Dfall down

[Verse 1]

When I was a boy there's a

dream that I had. That a

war if it's fought was for

good against bad. And I

woke up to find that the

world had gone mad; and we'd

all fall

down

[Break]

Am C G Em Am C G Am

[Verse 2]

And I feel like a child again

sitting observing

You're toying with power,

your fingers are burning

You're pushing so hard that the

worms won't be turning

We'll all fall

down

[Verse 3]

While you try to pretend you're a

god upon high ,With your

party ideals and your

squeaky clean lies

When it comes to the crunch

you're not smarter than I

And we'll all

fall down

[Break]

Am C G Em Am C G Am

[Verse 4]

If it's 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'll all

fall down

[Verse 5]

Well look in the mirror and

what do you see

An American, Russian, a

soldier or me

When you've all pressed the buttons

just where will you be

And we'll all

fall down

[Break]

Am C G Em Am C G Am

[Verse 6]

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

When we all

fall down

[Verse 7]

And what will you do when you've

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

[Break]

Am C G Em Am C G Am

[Verse 8]

No sun for a world that

once stood so tall

No wind's going to blow and

no rain's going to fall

No flowers for graves, in fact

no graves at all

When we all

fall down

[Outro]

Am C G Em Am C G Am
