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 fires still alight
Burning into the night

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go ‘round
Oh can’t you see
This is a land of confusion?

Well 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, these men of power
Oh they’re 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 ‘round
Oh tell me why, this is a land of confusion

Oh well 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
Ooh when the sun was shining
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
‘Cause my generation’s gonna 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 there’s not much love to go ‘round
Now 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 this 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
