Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed Take a look at all the suffering we breed So many lonely faces scattered all around Searching for what they need Is this the world we created? What did we do it for Is this the world we invaded Against the law So it seems in the end Is this what we're all living for today The world that we created You know that everyday a helpless child is born Who needs some loving care inside a happy home Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne Waiting for life to go by Wooh, is this the world we created? We made it all our own Is this the world we devastated, right to the bone If there's a God in the sky looking down What can he think of what we've done To the world that he created
