This World Songtext
von The Allniters

I′m a retro trouble against the triple play
All throughout the world there's nothing news today
Far and wide there are bad developments
The wake up call has come today to repent
People preaching, people shirking the plan
The world is just a debt that′s too big to repay
And if you think salvation's on its way
Will you fall or get down on your knees and pray?

I hope this world can keep it together
If we let things slide, we'll lose the tether
I hope this world can keep it together
There′s got to be a way we can, can keep it together

A ghetto freight train with no name or destination
Out of control on a track not fit to roll
All things come to those who wait, at least that′s what we're told
Tell that to somebody when they′re standing in the cold
Acid rain has gone and rinsed the colour out the lies
We wash our hands in what we threw away last night


I hope this world can keep it together
If we let things slide, we'll lose the tether
I hope this world can keep it together
There′s got to be a way we can, can keep it together

Do you really hope the world can keep it together?
Well pull your weight 'cause we′re in for stormy weather
Voice your opinions, silence is fear
Fear is a mind killer, we don't need a fortune teller
To see what's happening, where your actions lead to
True as a factual account of history
And no amount of mystery, cover ups, rewrites or politics
Is gonna make you miss
Listen up, take a stand for mankind

Don′t be blind to the facts, stay on track
Tired of petty wars, hijacks and oil spills

We are here to speak out ′cause we've had our fill

I always try my best not to lose my cool
It gets hard when you live on a ship of fools
I understand what I′m putting across, hope you get my drift

Now if you think salvation's on its way
Will you fall or get down on your knees and pray?


I hope this world can keep it together
If we let things slide, we′ll lose the tether
I hope this world can keep it together
There's got to be a way we can, can keep it together
I hope this world can keep it together
If we let things slide, we′ll lose the tether
I hope this world can keep it together
There's got to be a way we can, can keep it together

Now if we let things slide, we'll lose the tether
There′s got to be a way we can, can keep it together
