Is This The World We Want? Lyrics & Chords By Deadman

Gone are the days that were meaningful
When a song can make a home deep in your heart
The melody could twist and open a door
And make you feel human, way more than before

And somehow it got less convenient to care
And time marches on, consumer’s unaware

Is this the world we want?
Do we change it or do we give up?
Is this the world we want?
We could change it but we’d have to speak up

I admit it looked good when first it appeared
“All you can eat for a dollar!” “Get your free phone right here!”
Turn your head from the screen to the screen in your hand
One’s selling violence, the other sells fear

And maybe it is as it always has been
We think we get further, but we fall back again

Is this the world we want?
Do we change it or do we give up?
Is this the world we want?
We could change it but it’s not convenient
Not convenient
Not convenient

And maybe it is as it always has been
We think we get further, but we fall back again

Is this the world we want?
Do we change it or do we give up?
Is this the world we want?
We could change it but we’d have to stand up

And I found out when the power went out
That truth was still truth and doubt was still doubt
All I know now is to keep pressing on
Toward the light in the darkness that keeps shining on
