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