Such a Thing as Society
If I am to win
Then you have to fail
It's each for themselves
They've spun us the tail
If I am to live
Then you have to die
This my friend, is the time-honoured lie
This my friend, is the time-honoured lie
There is such a thing as society
That keeps us from losing our minds
That's working and living and laughing together
That makes us humankind
In the glitter of gold and the silver charade
We see ourselves in the image they made
And we thought for the scraps since the very first day
Do we really believe there's no other way
Do we really believe there's no other way
There is such a thing as society
That keeps us from losing our minds
That's working and living and laughing together
That makes us humankind
It's not who we are, it's not how we live
In the depths of disaster, we hurry to give
We lend our hand to strangers we meet
And we go without so that others can eat
And we go without so that others can eat
There is such a thing as society
That keeps us from losing our minds
That's working and living and laughing together
That makes us humankind
Watch it all wither in the light of the sun
In the warmth of our deeds and the labour we've done
Uncover the lie, tear down the wall
United we'll stand, divided we'll fall
United we'll stand, divided we'll fall
There is such a thing as society
That keeps us from losing our minds
That's working and living and laughing together
That makes us humankind
Then you have to fail
It's each for themselves
They've spun us the tail
If I am to live
Then you have to die
This my friend, is the time-honoured lie
This my friend, is the time-honoured lie
There is such a thing as society
That keeps us from losing our minds
That's working and living and laughing together
That makes us humankind
In the glitter of gold and the silver charade
We see ourselves in the image they made
And we thought for the scraps since the very first day
Do we really believe there's no other way
Do we really believe there's no other way
There is such a thing as society
That keeps us from losing our minds
That's working and living and laughing together
That makes us humankind
It's not who we are, it's not how we live
In the depths of disaster, we hurry to give
We lend our hand to strangers we meet
And we go without so that others can eat
And we go without so that others can eat
There is such a thing as society
That keeps us from losing our minds
That's working and living and laughing together
That makes us humankind
Watch it all wither in the light of the sun
In the warmth of our deeds and the labour we've done
Uncover the lie, tear down the wall
United we'll stand, divided we'll fall
United we'll stand, divided we'll fall
There is such a thing as society
That keeps us from losing our minds
That's working and living and laughing together
That makes us humankind
