Tears of the World (remix 1978) Songtext
von George Harrison

War mongers terrorize us all
Our leaders heed us to their call
Stonewallin, voices calling
Drowning in the tears of the world

Big business calling every tune
Polluting here and to the moon
All nations, conservations
Drowning in the tears of the world

But your lives worth saving
We should start behaving
Like the truth′s been told
By saviours through our time
Your downfall, you'll bring it on yourselves


All warnings fall upon deaf ears
Their scorn compounding my worst fears
No way out, hopeless souls shout
Drowning in the tears of the world
Drowning in the tears of the world

(Tears of the world)
Tears of the world

Where′s your love been sleeping?
Has your heart been weeping?
Over all unrighteous action in the world
Where bad jazz seems all they're laying down

No use in turning your blind eye
You feel the heat as you fry
Try your best, you'll find no rest
Drowning in the tears of the world

It′s a sure bet, each pays his debts
Drowning in the tears of the world
