this world ain t what it used to be i m fighting things i cannot see i think there s something going on tonight the future melted with the past i don t know how long this can last there s something out there but it don t feel right some things i recognise but others seem so strange can t believe i fully understand how things can be one way and then suddenly they re turned upon their head sometimes the world can be so blind can t see what s right before their eyes and just deny that they can see things changing dance to the beat of a different drum imagine where it all went wrong and try to prove that they just want to save the world our leaders just don t seem to care they sanction fighting everywhere but what the hell is all this fighting for then politicians take their leave leave the rest of us to grieve and shed a tear for those who went to war some things i recognise but others seem so strange can t believe i fully understand how things can be one way and then suddenly they re turned upon their head sometimes the world can be so blind can t see what s right before their eyes and just deny that they can see things changing dance to the beat of a different drum imagine where it all went wrong and try to prove that they just want to save the world so can t we all just live our lives so many people need not die why can t they see we are all flesh and blood there has to be another way i don t care what our leaders say i know that we can find a brighter day sometimes the world can be so blind can t see what s right before their eyes and just deny that they can see things changing dance to the beat of a different drum imagine where it all went wrong and try to prove that they just want to save the world sometimes the world can be so blind can t see what s right before their eyes and just deny that they can see things changing dance to the beat of a different drum imagine where it all went wrong and try to prove that they just want to save the world
