All the world's a masquerade
Made up of fools and philosophers
Were it to rain on our charade
All washes away, except for our true colors

If any people bothered looking for truth, please
(Stop the world from spinning 'round)
Instead we choose to follow footsteps of fools,please
(Stop the world from spinning 'round)

If nothing's new under the sun for me and you
Won't somebody please...

Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off

If we forget yesterday
We're bound to repeat it tomorrow
It's not too late to start today
Better off safe than sorry

Do unto those as you would do to yourselves,please
(Stop the world from spinning 'round)
We need more feet to walk in one another's shoes,please
(Stop the world from spinning 'round)
There's nothing new under the sun for me and you
Won't somebody please...

Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
Where there is love
Where there is love

[Guitar Solo]

Stop! ...the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off

You gotta stop
You gotta stop it
You gotta stop

Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
Where there is love
Aaah ...stop the world
Stop the world... ooooh

All the world's a masquerade
Made up of fools
