Land of Confusion: Cairo 2010


I Must have dreamed a thousand dreams,
been haunted by a million screams,

But I can hear the marching feet,
Moving into the street...

Now did you read the news today,
They say the Danger's gone away,
But I can see the fires still alight,
Burning, into the Night....




Theres too many Men, Too many people, making too many problems...
And not much love to go around...

Cant you see this is the land of confusion
This is the world we live in, and these are the hands we're given,
USE THEM AND LETS START TRYING
To make this a place worth living in...

Oh Superman where are you now?
when everything's gone wrong somehow?
Those Men of Steel...
The Men in Power...
Are losing control by the hour..

THIS IS THE TIME
THIS IS THE PLACE
Where we work for the future...
Still theres not much love to go round...
Tell me why is this the land of confusion...




This is the place we live in...
And these are the Dreams we're given...
MAKE THEM AND LETS STOP WHINING...
To make it a place worth living in...

I wont be coming home tonight...
My Generation SHOULD make it right
They're just making promises
We know, that they'll never keep..

Cause theres too many men, too many people, making too many problems
And theres not much love to go around...
Cant you see this is the land of confusion

Now this is the land we live in,
And these are the names we're given
USE THEM AND LETS STOP CRYING
To make it a place worth fighting for...

STAND UP AND LETS START SHOWING
Just where our lives are going to...
