"Beautiful World"

"Oh, beautiful world," we say
As we burn down all the forests
And poison all our rivers
"Oh, beautiful world," we say
As we fight amongst ourselves
Over theories and maybes
"Oh, what a beautiful world," we say
As the future of it
Dreams of endless sleeping
A lonely lullaby that's on 24-7
A busy world
Chasing numbers on white screens
"Oh, beautiful world," we say
As we frown upon another
When we're all the same inside
Messed up
Covered in lust
Filled up with pride
And unwilling to admit
"Oh, what a beautiful world," I say
As the future of it
Dreams of endless sleeping
A lonely lullaby that's on 24-7
A busy world
Chasing numbers on white screens
Censorship
As a sedative
For the common sense
In the day-to-day
What am I to say?
We're all addicts
To the little things
That the politics all suggest
Who are we to blame?
So "oh, what a beautiful world," I say
As I look at all the smoke
From the burning of the secrets
Oh, beautiful world
As we fight amongst ourselves
Over theories and maybes
