I must have dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're 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 They're burning into the night There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see this is the 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 living in Oh, Superman, where are you now? When every thing's gone wrong somehow? The men of steel, the men of power I'm 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 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 it a place worth living in Oh I remember long ago Oh when the sun was shining Yeah 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 My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know we'll never keep 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 Oh yeah Oh, oh
