All Of The Dreamers Lyrics
From your tower of ivory
I hear you rattle your jewellery
But in a hard bitten irony
You’re a pillar of the community
When you come down to the barrio
Get a feel for the people’s scenario
It’s a Grande opportunity
To steal a march on the enemy
Now all of the dreamers
Jumpin at shadows in the dark
Follow the leaders
Don’t follow the leaders into the dark
Down in the night it gets so cold
Under the shadow that you’ve thrown
The disciples stand at dawn
Wait for the world to be reformed
I never promised you the world
I just followed it round as it unfurls
So I string you up and along
With all of the dreamers...
So you speak out loud like a libertine
But you’re just another cog in the great machine
But in a cold bitter irony
You’re a hero of the community
When you come down to the barrio
You get a feel of the people’s scenario
It’s a last opportunity
To steal a march on the enemy
Now all of the dreamers
Jumpin at shadows in the dark
Follow the leaders
Don’t follow the leaders into the dark
Down in the night it gets so cold
Under the shadow that you’ve thrown
The disciples stand at dawn
Wait for the world to be reformed
I never promised you the world
I just followed it round as it unfurls
So I string you up and along
And along with all of the dreamers...
So I string you up and along
With all of the dreamers...
All of the dreamers
All of the dreamers
I hear you rattle your jewellery
But in a hard bitten irony
You’re a pillar of the community
Get a feel for the people’s scenario
It’s a Grande opportunity
To steal a march on the enemy
Jumpin at shadows in the dark
Follow the leaders
Don’t follow the leaders into the dark
Under the shadow that you’ve thrown
The disciples stand at dawn
Wait for the world to be reformed
I just followed it round as it unfurls
So I string you up and along
With all of the dreamers...
But you’re just another cog in the great machine
But in a cold bitter irony
You’re a hero of the community
You get a feel of the people’s scenario
It’s a last opportunity
To steal a march on the enemy
Jumpin at shadows in the dark
Follow the leaders
Don’t follow the leaders into the dark
Under the shadow that you’ve thrown
The disciples stand at dawn
Wait for the world to be reformed
I just followed it round as it unfurls
So I string you up and along
And along with all of the dreamers...
So I string you up and along
With all of the dreamers...
All of the dreamers

love this song, powderfinger are such a consistently good band :)
I think it's about the irony of how "revolution" itself has become commercialized. How people are learning to capitalize on dreamers, and make money on leading them around. I see this all the time nowadays, when "civil rights leaders" tend to be bigoted idiots privately, live in posh mansions, and drive sports cars. And people still believe them.
Kind of like religion in the old days really. Televangelists (Pat Robertson for example) made billions fooling dreamers that way. Nowadays, instead of religion, it's rights and environmentalism.
