❖

I have a vision of the future,
I have a dream of things to come.
I know, you know, 
Nothing's gonna happen soon.
Maybe all you dreams come true,
Maybe all your nightmares too. 

What a world we're living in
Where nobody wants to believe.
That murder and greed 
Takes the air that I breathe
But all you do is walk away.

But you can't tell me 
Things are getting better.
But you can't tell me 
Things will get much worse.

I want to tell you of my story.
And I want to tell you what I see.
I know, you know, 
The times they are a changing fast
Don't you hold on to the past 
Don't you know that it can't last.

What a world we're living in
Where nobody wants to believe.
That murder and greed 
Takes the air that I breathe
But all you do is walk away.

But you can't tell me 
Things are getting better.
But you can't tell me 
Things will get much worse.

What a world we're living in
Where nobody wants to believe.
That murder and greed 
Takes the air that I breathe
And all you do is walk away.
Murder and greed 
Takes the air that I breathe
And all you do is run away.
