And these are the names we're given
Publisher: HIT & RUN MUSIC PUBLISHING INC
So we look for the future
Been haunted by a million screams
We're not just making promises
Making too many problems
Well this is the world we live in
Just where our lives are going to
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight, so long ago
There burning into the night
Are losing control by the hour
They're moving into the street
Too many men, there's too many people
I won't be coming home tonight
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion
This is the time, this is the place
Stand up and let's start showing
Can't you see, this is a land of confusion?
To make it a place worth fighting for
Now did you read the news today
But there's not much love to go round
That we know, we'll never keep
But I can see the fire's still alight
Making too many problems
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
And these are the hands we're given
My generation will put it right
There's too many men, too many people
To make it a place worth living in
Now this is the world we live in
Use them and let's start trying
The men of steel, the men of power
But I can hear the marching feet
They say the danger's gone away
This is the world we live in
This is the world we live in
And not much love to go round
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
Songwriters: Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Michael Rutherford
Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago when the sun was shining
Use them and let's start trying
And not much love to go round
Ooh, Superman where are you now
