Land Of Confusion

I must have 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 has 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 a land of confusion?







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 a land of confusion







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



When the sun was shining



And all the stars were bright all through the night



In the wake of 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 round



Can't you see this is a land of confusion?







Now, 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
