  • The speaker on?
    Yeah, you like that?

    When it all falls down
    And the law don't count
    And it don't seem fair
    And the people don't care

    Where in the world you gonna go
    Who in the world you gonna hold
    When all the world keeps holding on at ground zero
    We'll leave it all with God

    When it all falls down
    And we almost drown
    Will they still send help?
    I guess it's every man for himself

    Where in the world you gonna go
    Who in the world you gonna hold
    When all the world keeps holding on at ground zero
    We'll leave it all with

    When the war it rages over the ages
    You can't erase it once you spill the
    Blood on the concrete river of deceit
    Will you be around?

    When it all falls down
    And the law don't count
    And it don't seem fair
    And the people don't care

    Where in the world you gonna go
    Who in the world you gonna hold
    When all of the world keeps holding on at ground zero
    We'll leave it all with Writer/s: Chris Cornell, James David Washington, Jerome Harmon, Timothy Mosley
