[Verse 1]
I must`ve 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 fires still alight
They`re burning into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
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 a land of confusion?

[Chorus]
This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we`re given (Oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let`s start trying (Oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth living in

[Verse 2]
Ooh, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 a land of confusion

[Chorus]
This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we`re given (Oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let`s start trying (Oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth living in

[Bridge]
I remember long ago
Ooh, when the sun was shining
Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight
So long ago

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Too many men, there`s too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can`t you see this is a land of confusion?


[Chorus]
Now, this is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we`re given (Oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let`s start trying (Oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the names we`re given (Oh, oh, oh)
Stand up and let`s start showing (Oh, oh, oh)
Just where our lives are going to
