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
