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