See the fire consume the land
Well I asked you here,
Yes I asked you here
Bodies burning in the sand
And I asked you here
Yes I asked you here
What a world
What a world,
Where no one has a chance to live
And peace on earth is just a myth
It's just a lie that you never learn
And I asked you here to this rat-hole world
Home is where the heart stops dead
And I asked you here,
Yes I asked you here
Children cry for their daily bread
And I asked you here,
Yes, I asked you here
See them run
See them hide, from acid rain,
Official lies amid
Movie dreams that fall and die
It's so absurd that you haven't heard
And I asked you here to this rat-hole world.
Cross my heart and hope to die
But I asked you here,
Yes I asked you here
Will nothing change as time goes by?
Well I asked you here,
Yes I asked you here
What a world,
What a world
Where paper houses tumble down
And concrete towers block the sun
And life is burned by a single word
And I asked you here to this rat-hole world
