...
We think we're heroes, we think we're kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh look how great we have become.
...
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold!!
...
We're just children, we're just dust
We are small and we are lost
And we're nothing, nothing at all.
...
One bomb, the whole block gone
Can't find my children and dust covers the sun
Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion
But to some, another fun day in Babylon
I'm going to bury my wife and dig up my gun
My life is done, so now … I got to kill someone.
...
How can I change the world if I can't even change myself?
I cannot change the way I am?
I don't know, I don't know.
...
I need a mirror for my spirit,
Yes, can you feel it?
When I get deep, want to hear myself sleep,
Not drowning, just tumbling around and around in the voices
Like a crowd in my head so loud,
I wonder what it's like to be dead,
I hope it's quiet, noise in my head like a riot,
Any remedy you have for me I'll try it.
Just below my skin I'm screaming...
...
So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
One man's loss, another man's goal…
...
So much more than I thought this world can ever hold!!
...
