All Fall Down - Kevin Gilbert

I guess this is it.

Time for what’s been called the finale

And this one comes as no surprise

One of a kind, you’ll never see this anywhere else, friends,

Sort of brings a tear to your eye

So be watching closely and you’ll be impressed

An order is given and a button is pressed

Then a light that is blinding and a sound that is shrill

Don’t blink or you’ll miss it, it’s the end of free will

So turn the radio up and pass the bottle round

And then we’ll have one more dance before we all fall down

I’ll wear my favorite tie, you can wear your wedding gown

And then we’ll both look real sharp when we all fall down

Look at them now, drawing little lines with their speeches

Each daring the other to cross

It won’t be long now, one will make a stand he believes in

Believing it’s well worth the cost

Then the other gets angry refuses to budge

Fueled by some understandable grudge

And now we wait quietly till the missile arrives

There’s no need to shout about the end of our lives

So bring your friends now, and we’ll laugh at all the clowns

Who think there’ll be a better world when we all fall down

And we can sing this song, we’ll make a joyful sound

We’ll be singing na na na when we all fall down

Buildings and bridges all leveled to the ground

Cities and nations and we just stand around

Someone unlocked the big cage

and the beast cannot be found

So strike up the music and we’ll all fall down.
