Lyrics
Story Of The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The world will never be free
The world will never have peace
The world will never be free
Because we are not one
The world will never be free
The world will never have peace
The world will never be free
Because we are not one
One, one, one, one
I looked behind my back and there he was
His screaming eyes could not be so bright
He was not stranger looking than you or me
With different thoughts and that wasn’t right
This is the story of the world
Where actors come, and actors go
You are not trusted till you know
And even then you are alone
Sometimes a man is judged by the way he thinks
And this is why the world is not one
But can not see
Taking no excuse because there’s none
Our world is in the hands of fools
So many others besides you
They seldom give, but always take
There’s only so much you can do
I used to of do it Jack
Everything that it can not see
And no one wants to stand uṗ and say they’re wrong
So private’s right before honesty
This is the story of the world
Where hide and seek’s a way of life
Hide from everything that’s real
And seek what others say is right
