LAND OF CONFUSION (Words: Mike Rutherford, Music: Genesis, 1986)?
/ / /
xxx23x xxx45x I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
xxxx33 xxxx55 been hunted by A million screams
xxx55x xxx77x but I can hear the marching feet
xxx23x xxx45x 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
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 con--fusion
So, 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 man of steel, 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 con--fusion?
So, 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 x4665x long ago -
when the x4432x sun was shining,
the x4222x stars were bright all through the night,
and the x4665x sound of your laughter
x4432x as I held you x4222x 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 not much
love to go round can't you see this is a
land of con--fusion
So, 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
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
