From your tower of ivory I hear you rattle your jewellery But in a hard bitten irony You're a, a pillar of the community When you come down to the barrio To get a feel for the people’s scenario It's your grand opportunity To steal a march on the enemy Now all of the dreamers Are jumpin' at shadows in the dark Follow the leader Don't follow the leader 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 unfurled 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, a hero of the community When you come down to the barrio To get a feel for the people's scenario It's your last opportunity To steal a march on the enemy Now all of the dreamers Are jumpin' at shadows in the dark Follow the leader Don't follow the leader 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 unfurled So I string you up and along With all of the dreamers Yeah I string you up and along With all of the dreamers All of the dreamers Ooh All of the dreamers
