Sing a song for the Wrong
  And the Wicked and the Strong
  And the Sick, as thick as thieves
  For the faceless fear that was never so near
  Too clear to misbelieve
  
  Well the sea is jumping salty
  And the porpoise has the blues
  My recollection's faulty
  And I cannot find my shoes
  And my wiring is misfiring
  Due to cigarettes and booze
  I'm behind in my dues
  I just now got the news
  He seems to tell us lies
  And still we will believe him
  Then together he will lead us
  Into darkness, my friends
  
  REFRAIN:
  Let it fall down, let it fall down
  Let it all fall down
  Let it fall down, let it fall down
  Let it all fall down
  
  The man says stand to one side, son
  We got to keep this big ball rolling
  It's just a question of controlling
  For whom the bell is tolling
  
  REFRAIN
  
  There'll be suffering and starvation
  In the streets young man
  Just where have you been, old man
  Just look out of your window, man
  
  REFRAIN
  
  Well, it ain't nobody's fault but our own
  Still, at least we might could show the good sense
  To know when we've been wrong
  And it's already taken too long
  So we bring it to a stop
  Then we take it from the top
  We let it settle on down softly
  Like your gently falling snow
  Or let it tumble down and topple
  Like the temple long ago
  
  REFRAIN
