Verse:
   E minorEm           D MajorD
When I was a boy there's a dream that I had
    E minorEm             D MajorD
That a war if it's fought was for good against bad
   E minorEm            B minorBm
And I woke up to find that the world had gone mad
     A augmentedA     D MajorD
And we'd all fall down
    E minorEm           D MajorD
And I feel like a child again sitting observing
    E minorEm           D MajorD
You're toying with power, your fingers are burning
   E minorEm             B minorBm
You're pushing so hard that the worms won't be turning
   A augmentedA     D MajorD
We'll all fall down
      E minorEm           D MajorD
While you try to pretend you're a god upon high
      E minorEm           D MajorD
With your party ideals and your squeaky clean lies
   E minorEm                 B minorBm
When it comes to the crunch you're not smarter than I
     A augmentedA     D MajorD
And we'll all fall down

    E minorEm           D MajorD
If it's colour or creed or your old time religion
   E minorEm            D MajorD
Well fighting for that shows a pure lack of vision
   E minorEm             B minorBm
The fight that we strive is the fight to survive
     A augmentedA     D MajorD
And we'll all fall down
   E minorEm           D MajorD
Well look in the mirror and what do you see
   E minorEm         D MajorD
An American, Russian, a soldier or me
      E minorEm               B minorBm
When you've all pressed the buttons just where will you be
     A augmentedA     D MajorD
When we all fall down

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