this poor world


look at the headlines
turn on the news
log on the internet
whatever you choose
late in the evening
start of the day
nothing but trouble
and what can you say

          this poor world
          this poor world
          running in place
          with the human race
          this poor world

don't look at intentions
don't use common sense
no need for neighbors
erect your fence
close all your windows
lock all the doors
you're always afraid
but you don't know what for

          this poor world
          this poor world
          where we don't hide
          the evil inside
          this poor world

empty your pockets
of any sign of hope
there's nothing to do
no way we can cope
we will just sigh
say that's how it is
what's mine is yours
and yours is his

          this poor world
          this poor world
          running in place
          with the human race
          this poor world
