Land of Confusion

Оригінал

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

Been haunted by a million screams

But I can hear the marching feet

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

Burning into the night

There's too many men

Too many people making too many problems

And there's not much love to go round

Can't you see this is a 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

Our superman, where are you now

When everything's gone wrong somehow?

The men of steel, these men of power

Are losing control by the hour

And this is the time

This is the place so we look for the future

But there's not much love to go round

Tell me why this is a 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 all the stars were bright

All through the night

In the wake of this madness

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

There's too many men

Too many people making too many problems

And there's not much love to go round

Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

Now 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
