Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Before you point the finger
And hope the whole thing disappears
Remember empty words will fall
And fall upon the deafest ears
[Verse 2]
He won't give in without a fight
And foul play without a doubt
No silver lining to be seen
In this thundercloud
Oh, that's not allowed
[Verse 3]
In the ideal world
We'd be free to choose
But in my real world
You can bet we're gonna lose
[Verse 4]
Your money fills their pockets
Fear fills their tiny minds
At last, the world is talking now
This ain't no way to treat mankind
[Verse 5]
A sudden blackout stops the show
But doesn't stop the way I am
'Cause all my life, I've been oppressed
You're not the first to say I am
I do all I can
[Verse 6]
For an ideal world
Where we're free to choose
But in my real world
You can bet we're gonna lose
[Verse 7]
In the ideal world
We can start again
But my real world
Hangs on the color of your skin
[Verse 8]
Now we can be free forever
If they would only change
But fools never change
No, no, no, no, no
[Verse 9]
A speck of blue up in the sky
A song of hope and noble thought
But how long must the people die
Before the guilty ones are caught
Oh, would you spare a thought?
[Verse 10]
For an ideal world
Where we're free to choose
But in my real world
You can bet we're gonna lose
[Verse 11]
In the ideal world
We can start again
But my real world
Let's put an end to suffering
End suffering
[Verse 12]
In the ideal world
We're now free to choose
But in my real world
We can bet we're gonna lose
[Verse 13]
In the ideal world
We can start again
In the ideal world
