| War mongers terrorize us all
|
| Our leaders heed us to their call
|
| Stonewalling, voices calling
|
| Drowning in the tears of the world
|
| Big business calling every tune
|
| Polluting here and to the moon
|
| All nations, conservations
|
| Drowning in the tears of the world
|
| But your life’s worth saving
|
| We should start behaving
|
| Like the truth’s been told
|
| By saviours through our time
|
| Your downfall, you bring it on yourselves
|
| All warnings fall upon deaf ears
|
| Their scorn compounding my worst fears
|
| No way out, hopeless souls shout
|
| Drowning in the tears of the world
|
| Drowning in the tears of the world
|
| Tears of the world
|
| Where’s your love been sleeping?
|
| Has your heart been weeping
|
| Over all unrighteous action in the world
|
| Where bad jazz seems all they’re laying down?
|
| No use in turning your blind eye
|
| You feel the heat as you fry
|
| Try your best, you’ll find no rest
|
| Drowning in the tears of the world
|
| It’s a sure bet, each pays his debts
|
| Drowning in the tears of the world |
