Walls Come Tumbling Down Songtext

von Paul Weller

You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know we've always been taught to rely

Upon those in authority
But you never know until you try
How things just might be
If we came together so strongly

Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Yes, an' walls can come tumbling down

Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out walls come tumbling down

The competition is a color TV
We're on still pause with the video machine
That keep you slave to the H.P.

Until the unity is threatened by
Those who have and who have not
Those who are with and those who are without
And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot
Until you don't know where you are

Are you gonna realize
The class war's real and not mythologized
And like Jericho you see walls can come tumbling down

Are you gonna be threatened by
The public enemies number ten
Those who play the power game
They take the profits you take the blame
When they tell you there's no rise in pay

Are you gonna try an' make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Yes, an' walls can come tumbling down
