Story of the World Lyrics

The world will never be free
The world will never have peace
The world will never be free
Because we are not oneThe world will never be free
The world will never have peace
The world will never be free
Because we are not one
One, one, one, oneI looked behind my back and there he was
His screaming eyes could not be so bright
He was not stranger looking than you or me
With different thoughts and that wasn't rightThis is the story of the world
Where actors come, and actors go
You are not trusted till you know
And even then you are aloneSometimes a man is judged by the way he thinks
And this is why the world is not one
... but can not see
Taking no excuse because there's noneOur world is in the hands of fools
So many others besides you

They seldom give, but always take
There's only so much you can do
I used to ... of do it Jack
Everything that it can not see
And no one wants to stand uW and say they're wrong
So private's right before honestyThis is the story of the world
Where hide and seek's a way of life
Hide from everything that's real
And seek what others say is right
