I 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 
There burning into the night 

Well 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 

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 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 won't [bad word] home tonight 
My generation will put it right 
We're not just making promises 
That we know, we'll never keep 

Now 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 fighting for
