There’s something wrong
with the world today
I don’t know what it is
Something’s wrong with our eyes
We’re seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain’t his
Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass
Name of the band is ‘The Human Race’
The boys in the bubble
They wanna be free
And they got so blind
That they cannot see
Insanity laughs under pressure,
we’re breaking
We just want to dance here,
someone stole the stage
Everybody, tell me have you heard?
Pop goes the world
I have done a good thing,
I’ve got you moving,
everybody’s dancing
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance
Well, they’re no friends of mine
Say, we can go where we want to –
A place where they will never find –
And we can act like we come from out of this world –
Leave the real one far behind
I got the message and the message is clear
Hey what planet are we on?
The third.
Pop goes the world
Here they are hurling through space on a molten rock at 67,000 miles an hour and the only thing that keeps them from flying out of their shoes is their misplaced faith in gravity.
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough
you’ll end up where you were
I hope they didn’t get your mind
Your heart is too strong anyway
We need to fetch back the time
They have stolen from us
You’re tellin’ me the world
does not even spin around?
You’re tryna say the car we’re sittin’ in
don’t belong to gravity?
And every time I wonder
where the world went wrong
End up lying on my face goin’
ringy dingy ding dong
And every time I wonder
if the world is right
End up in some disco
dancin’ all night
Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it’s wrong
But we can tell ’em no or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on
And say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything’s out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We’re doing it from pole to pole
Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free?
A birth of a song, a death of a dream –
Closer to the edge
The crust is elusive when it casts forth
to the childlike man
If I ran away
I’d never have the strength to go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart…?
Will it grow cold?
There’s a cold war coming
On the radio I heard
Baby, it’s a violent world
Little darling,
I feel that ice is slowly melting –
Little darling,
it seems like years since it’s been clear
It’s the terror of knowing
what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming,
“let me out“
Ice, ice baby,
too cold, too cold
This is our last dance –
This is our last dance –
This is ourselves , under pressure
Take you with me if I can –
Been dreamin’ of this since a child
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, hey
I’m on top of the world, hey
Waiting on this for a while now –
Paying my dues to the dirt
Back to the floor, that I love
