[Verse 1]
Tell, tell me the reasons why
Tell me every rumour you've been told
'Cause everybody knows they're dangerous
Sell me some of that wonder stuff
The stuff that lets you look at them and nod
Smile and say, "Thank God that wasn't us"

[Chorus]
When it all goes to pieces and it won't be long
Oh, once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
Waiting 'til the big push comes

[Verse 2]
Now the time that we've been waiting for
The moment that you'll finally realise
Your promises are lies, they turn to dust
Time, time changes everything
Can turn you from a hero to a dog
Living in a fog like the rest of us

[Chorus]
When it all goes to pieces and it won't be long
Oh, once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
Waiting 'til the big push comes
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Write, write me a pretty poem
Make belive that paradise is here
Future's coming clear
Sun through the clouds

[Chorus]
When it all goes to pieces and it won't be long
Oh, once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
Waiting 'til the big push comes
And when it all goes to pieces and it won't be long
Once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
And wait until the big push comes
