Lyrics

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's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we given
Use them and lets start trying
To make this a place worth living in
Superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow
Men of steel, men of power, losing control by the hour
This is the time and this is the place, so we look to the future
There's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is the 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 the stars were bright all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We not just making promises
That we know we never keep
There's too many Men
There's too many people making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the 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 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
