I must' ve dreamed 
a thousand dreams 
Been haunted by 

a million screams 
But I can hear 
the marching feet 
They' re moving 

into the street 
Now did you read 
the news today 
They say the 

danger' s gone away 
But I can see 
the fire' s still alight 
They' re burning 

into the night 
There' s too many men 
Too many people 
Making too 

many problems 
And there' s not much 
love to go around 
Can' t you see this is 

the land of confusion 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
This is the 
world we live in 

And these are the 
hands we' re given 
Use them and 
let' s start trying 

To make it a place 
worth living in 
Oh Superman where 
are you now 

When everything' s 
gone wrong somehow 
The men of steel 
These men of power 

Are losing control 
by the hour 
This is the time 
This is the place 

So we look 
for the future 
But there' s not much 
love to go around 

Tell me why this is 
the land of confusion 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
This is the 

world we live in 
And these are the 
hands we' re given 
Use them and 

let' s start trying 
To make it a place 
worth living in 


I remember long ago 
Oh when the sun was shining 
And all the stars were 
bright all through the night 

And wake up 
this madness 
as I held you tight 
So long ago 


I won' t be 
coming home tonight 
My generation 

will put it right 
We' re not just 
making promises 
That we know 

we' ll never keep 
There' s too many men 
Too many people 
Making too 

many problems 
And there' s not much 
love to go around 
Can' t you see this is 

the land of confusion 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
This is the 
world we live in 

And these are the 
hands we' re given 
Use them and 
let' s start trying 

To make it a place 
worth fighting for 
This is the 
world we live in 

And these are the 
names we' re given 
Stand up and 
let' s start showing 

Just where our 
lives are going to 
Oh, oh, oh, oh
