This World

Well, there’s a loud sound in the night that wakes him up

And he knows nothing’s ever gonna be like it was before

And there’s a loud pounding and it shakes him up

And so he packs all the things he can find and runs out the door

Ooh, the city’s on fire

Ooh, and it’s burning down

And he’s searching for something good

He’s just searching for something good

In this world

And now he’s on his way to another life

They say it’s better up here once you made it, so it’s worth a try

And so he stays strong for his family and he survives

With his thoughts still down there, hoping they wouldn’t die

Ooh, his world is on fire

Ooh, it’s about to burn down

And he’s searching for something good

Yeah, he’s searching for something good

And he’s searching for something good

He’s just searching for something good

In this world

Now look what we have

Aren’t we enough to lend a helping hand?

I really ask myself

How much worth is a life? Ooooh!

And he’s searching for something good

Something good

He’s just searching for something good

Let’s give ‘em something good

So let’s give ‘em something good

Let’s give ‘em something good

Yeah, let’s give ‘em something good

Let’s give ‘em something good

So let’s give ‘em something good

Let’s give ‘em something good

Yeah, let’s give ‘em something good

Ooh, our world is on fire

Ooh, so stop burning it down
