Lyrics
They'll give you a call and they want you there on time
A change overdue, you'll accept
The world of today is tremendously displayed
Where knowledge and wisdom are kept
Refrain
And the dawn is coming
You'll find something waiting
Asking for attention
Even months away
Like it or not when they put you on the spot
You do what you can to succeed
The world of today is quite friendly in it's ways
Allotting the room to proceed
Refrain
They'll send you an offer
You'll go the extra mile
To prove you have got what it takes
The world of today, a magnificent array
Not counting the costs or the stakes
Refrain
They'll cover the groundwork and get you on your feet
Then tell you it's up in the air
The world of today, it's not easy to explain
But most of the time things are fair
