lyrics

WALL CAME TUMBLING DOWN
Back in the year 1961 too many people had already gone
They kept the rest in Soviet thrall by building up the Berlin Wall
Police and Stasi kept everyone down.
Keeping em on their side of town
Do you want some real Levi Jeans?
You'll be lucky - in your dreams!

Then the people stood up to be counted
And the wall came tumbling down
The need for freedom could not be doubted
And the wall came tumbling down
Life was hard, life was tough
And the wall came tumbling down
Then they decided they'd had enough
And the wall came tumbling down

They were tired of the Soviet cause
The tanks and soldiers and Cold War
Life looked better in the West
McDonald's and Coke had to be the best!
Charging through the crumbling wall
Cheering at the Soviet fall
Trabants chugging into West Berlin
Land of opportunity and capitalist sin!

Then the people stood up to be counted
And the wall came tumbling down
The need for freedom could not be doubted
And the wall came tumbling down
Life was hard, life was tough
And the wall came tumbling down
Then they decided they'd had enough
And the wall came tumbling down
