Land of confusion

robc137.substack.com

I tell people that I post the things other people forget about. Yeah, this fits the bill.

“I've 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

Now did you read the news today?

They say the danger's 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 not much love to go 'round

Can't you see

This is a land of confusion?

Well, this is the world we live in (oh oh oh)

And these are the hands we're given (oh oh oh)

Use them and let's start trying (oh oh oh)

To make it a place worth living in

Ooh, 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

This is the time

This is the place

So we look for the future

But there's not much love to go 'round

Tell me why this is a land of confusion?

This is the world we live in (oh oh oh)

And these are the hands we're given (oh oh oh)

Use them and let's start trying (oh oh oh)

To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago

Ooh, when the sun was shining

Yes, and the stars were bright

All through the night

And the sound of your laughter

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

Too many men

There's too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go 'round

Can't you see

This is a land of confusion?

Now this is the world we live in (oh oh oh)

And these are the hands we're given (oh oh oh)

Use them and let's start trying (oh oh oh)

To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in (oh oh oh)

And these are the names we're given (oh oh oh)

Stand up and let's start showing (oh oh oh)

Just where our lives are going to”

No one's generation has done a damn thing, so far.

And now I can't get that song out of my head! Haha. I've heard that song many times and even own it, but had never listened closely to those incredible lyrics! Thanks!
