Without Those Songs

Would Dylan be just a poet?
Would Bono ever know it without those songs?
Would Marley be just a stoner?
Johnny Cash just be a loner without those songs?
Would Buddy Holly have disappeared?
Or would Lennon still be here without those songs?

What happened in their lives?
What happened in their hearts?
To make them want to write the words
Gonna tear this world apart
The beauty of their lives
Is when they're dead and gone
The world still sings along
When anything went right?
When anything went wrong?
They put it in a song

Would Elvis be just a look?
Or The Rolling Stones be stuck without those songs?
Would Sinatra be just a gangster?
Or would Jackson be just a dancer without those songs?
Would Madonna be just a face?
Or Nirvana be just a place without those songs?

What happened in their lives?
What happened in their hearts?
To make them want to write the words
Gonna tear this world apart
The beauty of their lives
Is when they're dead and gone
The world still sings along
When anything went right?
When anything went wrong?
They put it in a song

Ooh
Ooh

When anything went right?
When anything went wrong?
They put it in a song
Oh, who would make us sing?
And where would we all be without those songs?
Without those songs?
