S ing a song for the wrong and the w icked
And the strong and the sick as thick as thieves
For the f aceless fear that was n ever so near
T oo clear to misbelieve
Well the s ea i s jumping salty
And the p orpoise h as the blue s
My re coll ection's faulty
And I ca nnot fi nd my sh oes
And my w irin g is misfiring
Due to c igarettes an d bo oze
I'm beh ind in my due s
I j ust now got the news
He se ems to t ell us lies
And s till we will b elieve hi m
Th en toget her he will lea d us
In to darkn ess my friends
Let it fall d own le t it fa ll down l et it al l fall down
Let it fall do wn let it fal l down le t it all fall down
M an says: "S tand to one side son
We go t to keep this big ball rolling
It's just a q uest ion of controlling
For w hom the b ell is tol ling"
Let it fall d own le t it fa ll down l et it al l fall down
Let it fall do wn let it fal l down le t it all fall down
" There'll be s uffe ring and st arva tion
I n th e str eets young man"
J ust where have you been old man?
J ust look o ut of your w indow man
Let it fall d own le t it fa ll down l et it al l fall down
Let it fall do wn let it fal l down le t it all fall down
Well it isn't n obod y's fault but our ow n
Still at l east we might could show the good sense
To know when we've been wrong
And it's a lrea dy taken too lon g
So we b ring it to a stop
Then we t ake it from the top
We let it s ettle on d own so ftly
Like your g ently fa lling snow
Or l et it t umble down and top ple
Like the temp le long ago
Let it fall d own le t it fa ll down l et it al l fall down
Let it fall do wn let it fal l down le t it all fall down
Kee p holleri n' tim ber tim ber I ho pe it don 't fal l on me
I'm hollerin ' timb er whoa timber let it a ll fal l down
G o on let it f all do wn let it fall d own let i t all fall down together
L et it fall dow n let it fall down le t it all fall d own
Let it fa ll dow n let it f all down let it al l fall d
