Land Of Confusion

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

Been haunted by a million screams

But I can hear the marching feet

They're moving 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

There burning into the night.

There's too many men

Too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Can't you see

This is a 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.

Ooh Superman where are you now

When everything's gone wrong somehow

The men of steel, the men of power

Are 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 a 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 remember long ago -

Ooh when the sun was shining

Yes and the stars were bright

All through the night

And the sound of your laughter

As I held you tight

So long ago -

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

There's too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Can't you see

This is a 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
