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 in, 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
Burning, burning into the night

But 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?

But this is the world we live in
Now these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Our superman, where are you now?
Everything gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
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

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

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 fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to
