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