Verse 1: How many times must we start again The creation of the world from beginning to end What will it take before we learn We gotta wake up now 'n' show some concern What will the future hold How many untold stories will be told Just what will the future bring How many species of birds will have a song to sing Man 'n' man can't even get on 'N' man 'n' womans been at war for far too long Superior race all this black 'n' white vision Catholic. Muslim. There's too many religions Too much hatred too much greed Ignorant people pollute the air that we breathe We've gotta wake up now before it's much too late Hungry people need food on their plate People being killed for just a few pence Can you justify that 'cause it makes no sense to me You're growing up much too fast The destruction of mankind - how long will it last Verse 2: Perfect - that's what I'm striving to be The next best thing will do for me I do my best you disagree Holier - than - thou holier - than - me Commiting crimes with no remorse As good as gold now an evil force One word description is a dis You lick a boy down for his bag of cheese 'n' onion crisp And you don't even stop to think Whatever happened to the dinosaurs could make us all extinct I'm being judged by the clothes that I wear We gotta educate those with a grudge to bear But I'm content to a certain extent You're condemned for life it's too late to repent Inna - most beauty such a terrible waste Caught between a rock and a hard place. Verse 3: Be judged by according to what you've done Live this life the next is a better one Eat the fruit from the tree of life 'Cause if you live by the sword... you'll die by the knife How great and wonderful are your days How right and true are your ways... No more death, grief, crying or pain 'Cause only the good things will remain... Heed my words 'cause what I'm saying is true Treat them exactly as they treated you - Wipe away the tears from your eyes Be proud, lift your head up - reach for the skys. Verse 4: Condemned for what you did to them Now see how quick they fall to worship him There's a place in my heart that makes me understand Prepared and ready like a bride dressed to meet her husband Treat life like a learning process I said turn right so you took a sharp left Wake up and we'll all sleep peacefully The sun shines but it still seems bleak to me You tell a lie and convince me it's the truth I'm well mannered but you still call me uncouth I believe that there's got to be much more I hope I'm ready when death comes knockin' on my door Maybe tonight maybe as I sleep It can drive you mad if you think too deep But don't have a breakdown 'cause I called you a clown You threw a punch 'n' missed I killed you with a kiss What on earth will you do then The hour of your death amen 'N' all the prejudice that I've sustained I know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain Six foot below Reap what you sow Grim without grief
Sad without sorrow
