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