The handshake seals the contract
From the contract there's no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea, being insincere
The holiday was fun-packed
The contract still intact
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now see just how
The lies and deceit gained a little more power
Confidence taken in
By a suntan and a grin
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
We're lying by the orange sky
Two million miles across the land
Scattered to the highest high
Expect they'll either laugh or cry
No sex, no consequence, no sympathy
You're good enough to eat
Two minute warning
Two minutes later
When time has come
My days are numbered
The dawning of another year
Marks time for those who understand
One in four still here
While you and I go hand in hand
No radio, no sound, no sin, no sanctuary
So welcome to your last
Two minute warning
Two minutes later
When time has come
My days are numbered
The sun, the solitude, the cemetery
So welcome to your last
Two minute warning
Two minutes later
When time has come
My days are numbered
Do you ever get that feeling
When the guilt begins to hurt?
Seeing all the children
Wallowing in dirt
Crying out with hunger
Crying out in pain
At least the dirt will wash off
When it starts to rain
Soap won't wash away your shame
Do you ever get that feeling
That something isn't right?
Seeing your brother's fist
Clenched ready for the fight
Soon the fighting turns to weapons
And the weapons turn to wounds
So the doctor's stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch
Surgery won't improve your pain
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid
Do you ever get the feeling
That something can't be done
To eradicate these problems
And make the people one
Do you ever get that feeling
Something like a nagging itch?
And all the while the doctors
Stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch
The landscape is changing
The landscape is crying
Thousand of acres of forest are dying
Carbon copies from the hills above the forest line
Acid streams are flowing ill across the countryside
'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
Now we're rearranging
There's no use denying
Mountains and valleys can't you hear them sighing
Evolution, the solution, almost certainty
Can you imagine this intrusion of their privacy
'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
Token gestures, some semblance of intelligence
Can we be blamed for the security of ignorance
'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
And do those feet in modern times
Walk upon the flowers
And walk upon their brothers
While their heads are busy lying low
Trying to keep to cover, oh
Something went wrong
Along the way
Everybody's waiting for
Judgment day
So they can go
Told you so
They can go
Told you so
Bring me my gun of itching desire
Bring me my bullets and I will fire
Sights set higher than the tall church spire
Standing in line
The blind lead the blind
Waiting and waiting
For an overdue sign
Brothers and sisters
Playing Chinese whispers
If things aren't suited
Then they'll get diluted
There's one more dead with a hole in his head
He shouldn't have said all the things he said
Many tears were shed for the blood he bled
