I must have dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today? They say the danger has gone away But I can see the fire's still alight They're 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 Tell me why this is a land of confusion?
This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying 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
This is the time, this is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go around Can't you see? This is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying 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 My generation will put it right We're not just making promises 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 round Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
Now, this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to
