Heartbreaking World Songtext
von Squeeze

(Difford/Holland)


The saddest thing I′ve ever seen
Was a starving face on my TV screen
The desperate face that I saw
Had my disbelief hanging from my jaw
Our harvest could be shared around
Instead it's buried in the ground
The saddest thing I′ve ever seen
Was a football fan dying for his team
The toughest thing I have ever known
Was a soldier boy who never made it home
It's fiction live before our eyes
It leaves me cold and my heart cries

The greatest thing I've ever seen
Was a newborn child looking up at me
The greatest sound I′ve ever heard
Was a baby′s cry in this wicked world
The innocence of that cry
Leaves me cold and my heart cries

It's a heartbreaking world if you want it to be
It′s a heartbreaking world if you want it to be
It's a heartbreaking world if you want it to be
And you′re the one that breaks it for me
