us3 – world no more lyrics
greetings i come from earth
i come from a world of love and hate
where escape was a twist of fate
where death was food for the living
where giving was the gift unheard
i come from a world of bridges that divided
and where rivers were just streams where chemicals hided
i come from a world where skies were stools for pollution
and jails were the only solution
a world where the contribution is murder
and youth is the voice unheard
i come from a world of kings and presidents
where no evidence is the truth control
freedom of soul
cold as the days turn old
i come from a world no more
i come from a world of rich and poor, fat and famished
where children starve as others carve in a holiday meal
i come from a place where toys like guns and knives
are gifts to a child’s heart
a place where they taught you to believe in santa claus
but never taught you to believe in yourself
i love you self
i come from a world of order and disorder
where crossing borders meant shot on sight
where safety was night from a gunman’s sight
i came to shed light
couldn’t we all get along?
i come from a world, i come from a world no more
i come from a world where millions marched
and sang songs to a different drummer for 200 summers
a world of poverty and majority
one line for minority and last priority
secret sororities and membership only
where elders die lonely
i come from a world where walls were torn while graves were
formed
global warming was the warning that the last days were near
but no-one could hear in their ignorance
only what you wear
poisons coloured your hair and put holes in the atmosphere
ozone layer
i don’t wanna be a player no more
where all you worried about was the score
i come from a world, i come from a world no more
