Land Of Confusion Lyrics By Genesis

    i must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams
    been haunted by a million screams
    but i can hear the marching feet
    they’re moving into the street
    now did you read the news today
    they say the danger’s gone away
    but i can see the fires still alight
    they’re burning into the night

    pre
    there’s too many men too many people
    making too many problems
    and not much love to go round
    can’t you see this is a land of confusion

    this is the world we live in oh oh oh
    and these are the hands we’re given oh oh oh
    use them and let’s start trying oh oh oh
    to make it a place worth living in

    ooh superman where are you now
    when everything’s gone wrong somehow
    the men of steel the men of power
    are losing control by the hour

    pre
    this is the time this is the place
    so we look for the future
    but there’s not much love to go round
    tell me why this is a land of confusion

    this is the world we live in oh oh oh
    and these are the hands we’re given oh oh oh
    use them and let’s start trying oh oh oh
    to make it a place worth living in

    i remember long ago
    ooh when the sun was shining
    yes and the stars were bright all through the night
    and the sound of your laughter as i held you tight
    so long ago

    i won’t be coming home tonight
    my generation will put it right
    we’re not just making promises
    that we know we’ll never keep

    pre
    too many men there’s too many people
    making too many problems
    and not much love to go round
    can’t you see this is a land of confusion

    now this is the world we live in oh oh oh
    and these are the hands we’re given oh oh oh
    use them and let’s start trying oh oh oh
    to make it a place worth fighting for
    this is the world we live in oh oh oh
    and these are the names we’re given oh oh oh
    stand up and let’s start showing oh oh oh
    just where our lives are going to
