James Taylor wrote this song 48 years ago. The wizard has been singing it since 1974.

Sing a song for the wrong and the wicked
and the strong and the sick, as thick as thieves;
For the faceless fear that was never so near,
Too clear to misbelieve.
Well, the sea is jumping salty and the porpoise has the blues.
My recollection’s faulty
And I cannot find my shoes

And my wiring is misfiring
Due to cigarettes and booze.
I’m behind in my dues.
I just now got the news.
He seems to tell us lies
And still we will believe him
Then together he will lead us
Into darkness, my friends.

Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down

Man says, “Stand to one side, son,
We got to keep this big ball rolling.
It’s just a question of controlling
For whom the bell is tolling.”

Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down

“There’ll be suffering and starvation
In the streets, young man.”
Just where have you been, old man?
Just look out of your window, man.

Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down

Well, it ain’t nobody’s fault but our own.
Still, at least we might could show the good sense
To know we’ve been wrong.
And it’s already taken too long.

So we bring it to a stop.
Then we take it from the top.
We let it settle on down softly
Like your gently falling snow.
Or let it tumble down and topple
Like the temple long ago.

Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down

Keep hollerin’ timber, timber, I hope it don’t fall on me
I’m hollerin’ timber, whoa, timber, let it all fall down.
Go on, let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down together
Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
Let it fall down, let it fall down, let it all fall down
