All this time has whittled away, Like so many days in one, Back and forth the leaders sway, Backing it up with guns...
[Bridge:] Superpowers flex their wings, Hold the world on puppet strings, Egos will feed While citizens bleed, That's always the way it goes.
[Chorus:] When will the world listen to reason? I've a feeling it'll be a long time. When will the truth come in to season? I've a feeling it'll be a long time, I've a feeling it'll be a long time...
All they want is what they can defend, Before their time is up, Make the same mistakes again, Heard it all before...
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Well if they tried maybe they'd see, It'd do a little good To let the world be free, Handshake and a smile Gets you on through, Then turn it all around With a suicide move But you know it's not, Fooling anyone but me, You gotta make yourself see What you want to see...
