Land of Confusion

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
