The Walls Are Coming Down

They swallowed it whole, they went for the gold, for the gold

We fall for the same lies we all have the same shoes to fit.

The preachers and books of your empire will fight here alone

Some day the will be forgotten and die one by one.

The walls, the walls are coming down

The here and now is coming round

It will someday let you down.

The ships, the ships are coming in

The great ideas are wearing thin

There is nothing left to do.

For atoms have gone as far as atoms will go

Your books write themselves

They line up in row after row

The walls, the walls are coming down

The here and now is coming round

It will someday let you down.

The ships, the ships are coming in

The great ideas are wearing thin

There is nothing left to do.

The walls, the walls are coming down

The here and now is coming round

It will someday let you down.

The ships, the ships are coming in

The great ideas are wearing thin

There is nothing left to do.
