I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
Moving into the streetNow did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire still alight
Burning into the nightThere's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
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 inOur superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hourAnd 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 confusionThis 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 inI 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 agoI won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keepThere's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
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 forThis 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
