If you've a hollow life you cling to what you got
And if nothing's blooming you gotta stop the rot
When the world is black, cloaked in despair
Don't head down come up for air
The world is falling apart in these desperate times
No compassion in my heart in these desperate times
The world is falling apart
No compassion in my heart .. in these desperate times
If there's another world locked inside your dreams
Don't use a pillow to smother all the screams
Just cry out in the night
Come out of the shadows and you'll see the light
From the cradle through to the grave
No-one is saying we've all gotta' be brave
When the feeling's gone
Rev it up a little with an atom bomb
