Lyrics
In a Civilized World
10/02 ©2002 Jeanna Gollihur
Why say you want to protect me?
Why say I need your protection?
I thought we lived
In a civilized world
{back up}In a civilized world
I thought we lived in a civilized world
{back up} In a civilized world
I must have been mistaken
aren't the nobles supposed to keep
Some code of honor?
{back up}In a civilized world
Who changed the rules?
The rules that I learned in school
This American Dream of mine can't come true
If the nobles failed to protect me
In a civilized world
In a civilized world
In a civilized world
In a civilized world
Aristocratic Wannabe's take it all
As honor among thieves
A war for oil (power) could it be
The Apocalypse (For Profit)
I sure hope you believe
In a civilized world
In a civilized world
Do you believe?
In a civilized world
I sure hope you believe
In a civilized world
