I see newborn graves Dirt dimmed with steam Open womb flesh Death and disease
And I think to myself What a wonderful world
I see ethnic cleansing Pain beyond belief Whole nations murdered Sorrow and grief
And I think to myself What a wonderful world
The silhouettes of murder So pretty in the sky Where rapists stair and wonder At children passing by I see friends shaking hands Saying "How do you do" But they're really saying "Hey, Fuck you!"
I see men talking peace Words full of shit Eyes welled with war Poison and deceit
And I think to myself What a wonderful world
Yeah I think to myself What a wonderful world Oh yeah
