Ultravox All Fall Down Lyrics

Refrain:
///m
When I was a boy there's a
dream that I had. That a
war if it's fought was for
(ch/D(/ch)
good against bad. And I
woke up to find that the
world had gone mad; and we'd
all fall
down
Refrain:
///m
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
While you try to pretend you're a
(ch)D(/ch
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
Refrain:
///m
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
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
Refrain:
///m
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
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
Refrain:
///m
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
Refrain:
///m
