I must've 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 Too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go around Can't you see This is a land of confusion
Chorus: 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
Ooh, Superman where are you now When everything's gone wrong somehow The men of steel, the 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 Tell me why This is a land of confusion
Chorus
I remember long ago Ooh, when the sun was shining Yes, 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're not just making promises That we know, we'll never keep
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 a land of confusion
Chorus
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
