I must have 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 has gone away
I can see the fire's still alight
Burning into the night

Too many men, too many people
Giving 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 this a place worth living in

Oh, 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
There's not much love to go around
Tell me why 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 this a place worth living in
[x2]

(This is the world we live in)
I remember long ago
I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
