Walls Come Tumbling Down Lyrics
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
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change -
YES an' walls can come tumbling down!
'cause Unity is powerful -
Lights go out - walls come tumbling down!
We're on still pause with the video machine
That keep you slave to the H.P.
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
The class war's real and not mythologized
And like Jericho - You see walls can come tumbling down!
The public enemies No. 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
Or spend your days down in the dirt -
You see things CAN change -
YES an' walls can come tumbling down!
why is there no comments! :o
is a good song to make you think of give up of everything
This song is an anthem for social-anarchy.
This great song was the song that made me aware of that amazing band that Style Council was. They mad a string of awesome songs, but this remains one of my favorite.
It makes you want to scream for social justice... It makes you want to kick some ass... Instead, government will bail out private banks (whose lousy managers who lead them to bankruptcy make unbelievable incomes) with the taxpayers' money...
Will walls ever come tumbling down?
Paul was talking about class and and the power elite, but to be honest it reminds me of the Berlin Wall more than anything.
He was trying to motivate people to vote and at the same time remove Thatchers government
I have a hard time buying into Weller's Socialist jive; but this a fantastic song and one of my absolute favorites by the SC. I recognize Weller as being a product of his environment and the times where everyone wanted to stand up to Thatcher so he gets a pass.
