I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street. | | Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There burning into the night. |
There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion. | | This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in. |
Ooh Superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour. | | This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion. |
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in. | | I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago - |
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep. | | Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion. |
Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for. | | This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to. |
