Walls Come Tumbling Down
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
Yes, they do, (yes, they do) yes, they do (yes, they do)
The competition is a colour TV
We're on still pause with the video machine
(That keep you slaves 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 get to realize
The class war's real not mythologized?
And like Jericho - you see walls came tumbling down!
(Governments crack and systems fall)
('Cause unity is powerful)
Lights go out - walls come tumbling down
(Down) We'll be too weak to fight it
(Down) Unless united
(Down) Oh, we're united
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Are you gonna be threatened by
The public enemies Number 10?
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 to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt?
You see things can change - walls can come tumbling down
(Governments crack and systems fall)
('Cause unity is powerful)
Whoa, lights go out - walls come tumbling down
(Governments crack and systems fall) Yes, they do
('Cause unity is powerful)
Ooh lights go out - walls come tumbling down
(Governments crack and systems fall)
('Cause unity is powerful)
Whoa, lights go out - walls come tumbling down
(Governments crack and systems fall)
('Cause unity is powerful)
Whoa, lights go out - walls come tumbling down
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)

Yes, they do, (yes, they do) yes, they do (yes, they do)

('Cause unity is powerful)
Whoa, lights go out - walls come tumbling down
(Governments crack and systems fall)
('Cause unity is powerful)
Whoa, lights go out - walls come tumbling down
