The invisible hand upon our shoulder
Built by writers, lawyers, soldiers
The match alights, the parchment smolders
And every statue gets knocked over
Down. it’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down. it’s comin’ down, down, down
Down. it’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down. it’s comin’ down, down, down
Forgettin’ back when they could fly
Now the clouds block out the sky
And they’ve gone, gave up their slice of pie
Never stopped to wonder why
Toadies tellin’ them it's not too late
Hanging a promise of escaping fate
Just another game of switch it and bait?
See the crossroads, they lock the gate
Down. it’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down. it’s comin’ down, down, down
Down. it’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down. it’s comin’ down, down, down
Pockets lined with silver, filled with gold
Tellin’ me it’s the lucky who grow old
Did it take you skill, was it that you’re bold
What color’s heaven in your world?
Cheat the system, hack the rules
Put one over on all those fools
Living out a code of ridicule
Cut the knot, 'n take the Devil’s due
Down. it’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down. it’s comin’ down, down, down
Pockets lined with silver, filled with gold
Tellin’ me it’s the lucky who grow old
Did it take you skill, was it that you’re bold
What color’s heaven in your world?
Well. it’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down. it’s comin’ down, down, down
Down. it’s comin’ down
It’s comin’ down. it’s comin’ down, down, down
The invisible hand upon our shoulder
Built by writers, lawyers soldiers
The match alights, the parchment smolders
And every statue gets knocked over
