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