New World Songtext

von Steve Lukather

I woke up on a sidewalk in a dream
Where no one heard a single word I screamed
It was somewhere in the future
This is not the perfect world that I thought it would be

I wandered by the white house
All the weeds and broken bottles scattered everywhere
All the greed and bad intentions, our refusal to prevent them,
I just stood and stared

Empty highways, flooded towns
Is it way too late to turn it all around

Take your soul and throw it away
You won't need it in the new world
Where there's no one left to save

We gotta take our stand, it's judgment day
If we ignore the final warning
It's a new world
We gotta pay for our history

I woke up feeling shitty, drank a half a pot of coffee just
To clear my head
As i read the morning paper, I'm not feeling any safer,
After what i just read
Empty highways, flooded towns,
Is it way too late to turn it all around

Take your soul and throw it away
You won't need it in the new world
There's nothing left to save

We gotta take our stand, it's judgment day
If we ignore the final warning
It's a new world
We gotta pay for our history

Follow me now to higher ground
If we wait any longer then this world will tumble down
Those who were lost soon will be found
It's our destiny

Take your soul and throw it away
You won't need it in the new world
Where there's no one left to save

We gotta take our stand, it's judgment day
If we ignore the final warning
If we ignore the final warning

Take your soul and throw it away
You won't need it in the new world
There's nothing left to save

We gotta take our stand, it's judgment day
If we ignore the final warning
It's a new world
We gotta pay for our history
