THE WORLD
the world is full of pretty people
who sell their beauty for an extra pound of cash
to add to their stash
the world is full of hopeless dreamers
who get their dreams from a corner of hash
before they crash
the world is full of killers and thieves
who got to get as much as they need of nothing
before they leave – sometimes we make them leave
the world is full of nice people
who love their neighbors as much as they love themselves
but who can tell who the nice people are?
do they all play guitar?
the world is full of believers
hooked on god and satan and following leaders
who promise them power power power
to quell all their fears
to dry all their tears
to crush their foes
power power power to put up their nose
the world is full of poets and seers
who know the truth and want you to hear
but you’re so deaf and you’re so dumb
you never listen to anyone – with reason
yea, logic is treason – logic is treason
and that’s why
the world is full of wonderful people
who will never be free
like you and me
the world is full of beautiful people
the world is full of wonderful people
the world is full of poets and seers
the world is full of believers
the world is full of killers and thieves
the world is full of hopeless dreamers
hopeless dreamers
who will never be free
never be free
like you and me
