[Verse 1]
War mongers terrorize us all
Our leaders heed us to the call
Stonewalling, voices calling
Drowning in the tears of the world

[Verse 2]
Big business calling every tune
Polluting here and to the moon
All nations, conservations
Drowning in the tears of the world

[Bridge 1]
But your life's worth saving
We should start behaving
Like the truth's been told
By saviors through our time
Your downfall, you bring it on yourselves

[Verse 3]
All warnings fall upon deaf ears
Their scorn compounding my worst fears
No way out, hopeless souls shout
Drowning in the tears of the world

[Refrain]
Drowning in the tears of the world
Tears of the world
[Bridge 2]
Where's your love been sleeping?
Has your heart been weeping
Over all unrighteous action in the world
Where bad jazz seems all they're laying down?

[Verse 4]
No use in turning your blind eye
You feel the heat as you fry
Try your best, you'll find no rest
Drowning in the tears of the world
It's a sure bet, each pays his debts
Drowning in the tears of the world
