| This world ain’t what it used to be
|
| I’m fighting things I cannot see
|
| I think there’s something going on tonight
|
| The future melted with the past
|
| I don’t know how long this can last
|
| There’s something out there but it don’t feel right
|
| Some things I recognise but others seem so strange
|
| Can’t believe I fully understand
|
| How things can be one way and
|
| Then suddenly they’re turned upon their head.
|
| Sometimes the world can be so blind
|
| Can’t see what’s right before their eyes
|
| And just deny that they can see things changing
|
| Dance to the beat of a different drum
|
| Imagine where it all went wrong
|
| And try to prove that they just want to save the world.
|
| Our leaders just don’t seem to care
|
| They sanction fighting everywhere
|
| But what the hell is all this fighting for?
|
| Then politicians take their leave
|
| Leave the rest of us to grieve
|
| And shed a tear for those who went to war.
|
| Some things I recognise but others seem so strange

|
| And try to prove that they just want to save the world.
|
| So can’t we all just live our lives?
|
| So many people need not die
|
| Why can’t they see we are all flesh and blood?
|
| There has to be another way
|
| I don’t care what our leaders say
|
| I know that we can find a brighter day.
