Model Beirut Recital - John Cale

When they grow up, the silly people who will run the world

When I’m thinking of the silly men

People trying to run the world

Something must be done about it

Something must be done right now

'bout the silly people trying to run the world

And I hear them call out my name when I run run

Then I hear them call out my name when I run

When I run, when I run, when I run run

But something must be done about it

Something must be done right now

About all the people trying to run the world

And they are whistling in the dark

I’m whistling for a friend

Whistling in the dark again

And we all fall down

And we all fall down

And we all fall down

And we all fall down

In a Modern Beirut Recital

In Model Beirut again

Modern Beirut Recital

Modern Beirut Recital

Again

The lady beggar hear them in the street

They’re gonna break down the doors

They’ll knock knock

Well, something must be done about it

About the silly people trying to break down my door

They break down the door

They break down the door

They break down the door

Whistling in the dark

I’m whistling for a friend

Whistling in the dark again

All fall down …

Modern Beirut Recital

Model Beirut again

And we all fall down …

Model Beirut again
