[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Now all of the dreamers
Are jumpin' at shadows in the dark
Follow the leader
Don't follow the leader into the dark
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Now all of the dreamers
Are jumpin' at shadows in the dark
Follow the leader
Don't follow the leader into the dark
[Instrumental Break]
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
All of the dreamers
Ooh-ooh-ooh
All of the dreamers
