I must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They’re moving into the street
Now did you read the news today
They say the danger’s gone away
But I can see the fire’s still alight
They’re burning into the night
There’s too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there’s not much love to go around
Can’t you see this is the land of confusion
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Oh Superman where are you now
When everything’s gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there’s not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
Oh when the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
And wake up this madness as I held you tight
So long ago
I won’t be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We’re not just making promises
That we know we’ll never keep
There’s too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there’s not much love to go round
Can’t you see this is the land of confusion
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we’re given
Stand up and let’s start showing
Just where our lives are going to
I said the joker is a wanted man,
He makes his way all across the land,
See him sifting through the sand,
So I’ll tell you all the story,
About the joker and the thief of the night,
Always laughing in the midst of power,
Always living in the final hour,
There is always sweet in the sour,
We are not goin' home,
Can you see the joker flying over,
As she’s standing in the field of clover,
Watching out everyday,
I wonder what would happen is he took her away,
What you see well you might not know,
You get the feelin' comin' after the glow,
The vagabond is moving slow,
So I’ll tell you all the story,
'bout the joker and the thief of the night,
All the people that he see in the night,
Hold their dreams up to the light,
The ild beast is searching for sight,
We are not goin' home,
Can you see the joker flying over,
As she’s standing in the field of clover,
Watching out everyday,
I wonder what would happen is he took her away,
Tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief,
I said, I’ll tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief,
I said, I’ll tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief,
Of the night
