[Verse 1]
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
Did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
They're burning into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Oh, Superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour
[Pre-Chorus]
This is the time, this is the place
So we look to the future
There's not much love to go around
Tell me, why this is the land of confusion?

[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
