Been haunted by a million screams
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
Burning into the night.
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.
.
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.
Everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, men of power
Are losing control by the hour.
This is the timeThis 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
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 long ago....
When the sun was shining....
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 people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see, this is a land of confusion.
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to.
(Land of Confusion - performed by Genesis, lyrics by Phil Collins, 1986)
