All Fall Down

Dear young ones please heed my call
I know we've gone too far
And now only time will tell
If we'll rise or fall

I am sorry
That we've done you wrong
We should have learned from our mistakes
But now it's too late

Oh, oh
And soon we all fall down
Oh, ooh, oh
In the end we all fall down

So long ago this war began
And ever since has plagued the earth
Seems our fate was sealed
From the start of it all

Religion, prejudice and greed
Corrupts this world
While the war machines
Grind on and on and on and on and on

Oh, oh
And we all fall down
Oh, ooh, oh
In the end we all fall down

You can run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

But there's no where to run
There's no where to hide
From the demons of recourse
Or the demons of pride

You may take up your guns
But there's no one to fight
Because your worst enemy
Is your own greed and lust

Indicators telling us
We are living way beyond our means
Though cries of global warming
Won't slow us down

Is there any hope for us
In a world where nothing's sacred?
Though our mouths are thirsty
Empty is our cup!
What does the future hold
Poor lost children of the storm?

War is all we've ever known
Born to fight, bred to hate
While mass destruction
Waits for us at every door

One slip and we may fall
Running from the monster we made
We will surely parish
If we don't get it right
What does the future hold?
Are we all doomed to die?

Oh, oh
And we all fall down
In the end don't you know
We're gonna all fall down?
