World of Wonder

Hey everybody won't you come on down
And spin that wheel of fortune round
Now push your little button now, everything's right
You can play the fool in paradise
Oh, yeah
Now you can't drink the water, can't breathe the air
But you can change the channel from your easy chair
You got the homeless and the hungry and the cause of the day
And maybe if we throw some money at 'em they'll just go away
I can feel it in the rhythm of a heart beat,
The kind off message that begs to be heard
Every backside burning in the hot seat
Oh oh oh welcome to the modern world of wonder
I'm taking 'bout the world of wonder whoa oh oh
They say we need a balance of power just to keep the peace
And so we put another billion dollars into war machines
You got the third world debt and your old world greed
Yeah it's a thoroughly modern world indeed
Can't you feel it in the rhythm of a heart beat
the kind off message that begs to be heard
Every backside burning in the hot seat
Oh oh oh welcome to the modern world of wonder
I'm talking 'bout the world of wonder oh yeah
Rome burns while the music plays
And we can dance now but our children will pay yeah
When they cant take their modern world and they can't save
Their modern world and they can't wish their modern world away
Hey hey hey hey yeah
Now I'm pressing my cause to the powers that be hey
Is there anybody out there that can answer me
Now please leave a message at the sound of the tone
And I said the lights are on but no one's home
(World of wonder, world of wonder, world of wonder)
Im talking bout the world
Welcome to the modern world
Welcome to the modern world
And it makes me wonder
And it makes me wonder
