Lyrics

A LONG TIME AGO
OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS FOUGHT IN WARS
WE WON OUR FREEDOM SO THEY SAY
BUT LOOK WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY
YEAR-BY-YEAR THEY?RE ALL THE SAME
AROUND THE WORLD THERE?S SO MUCH PAIN
SUICIDE BOMBERS KIDS AT SCHOOL WITH GUNS
SEEMS LIKE WE'RE KILLING EVERYONE

WHEN WILL WE HEAR OUR WAKE UP CALL
BEFORE IT?S TOO LATE AND WE TAKE THE FALL

THIS WORLD IS CRAZY
MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR ATHLETES
CHILDREN WITH NO FOOD & SHELTER OUT ON THE STREETS
THIS WORLD IS OURS
PEOPLE BEING BOMBED IN RESTAURANTS AND PARKING LOTS
JUST BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE?S BELIEF

THIS WORLD IS DYING
OVERPOPULATION, POLLUTION, GLOBAL WARMING
CUTTING DOWN OUR TREES
THIS WORLD OF OURS
ITS NOT TOO LATE IF WE MAKE A STAND
TO FIGHT TOGETHER HAND IN HAND

SENSELESS VIOLENCE AFFECTS ALL
EVEN IF IT?S MILES AWAY WE CAN FEEL IT HEAR AT HOME
WE JUST DON?T KNOW WHO WE CAN TRUST
THEY?SE SO MANY THAT YOU CAN?T LIVING AMONG US

THE HIGH PEOPLE OUT IN HOLLYWOOD
NOT DOING ALL THE THINGS THEY SHOULD
THE POLITICIANS COME & GO
ONLY WORRYING ABOUT THEIR WALLETS GOLD

TIME AFTER TIME WE ARE
WALKING THAT LINE
DAY AFTER DAY WE ALL NEED TO PRAY

THIS WORLD IS CRAZY
HUNGER, GREED MURDEROUS THIEVES
GANG BANG SHOOTERS HOSTAGES OVERSEAS
THIS WORLD IS OURS
SEX & DRUGS & ROCK N ROLL
DOES IT REALLY FULFILL YOUR SOUL
THIS WORLD IS DYING
BIOCHEMICAL NUCLEAR BOMBS
WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF THIS PLANET OF OURS
THIS WORLD OF OURS
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TOO MAKE A STAND
TO FIGHT TOGETHER HAND IN HAND
