Before you point the finger and hope the whole thing disappears Remember empty words would fall fall upon the deafest ears He won't give up without a fight foul play without a doubt No silver lining to be seen in this thundercloud and that's not allowed In the ideal world we'd be free to choose But in my real world you can bet we're gonna loose In the ideal world we can start again In the ideal world put an end to suffering Your money fills their pockets and fear fills their tiny minds At last the world is talking now this ain't no way to treat mankind A sudden blackout stops the show but doesn't stop the way I am Because all of my life I've been afraid you're not the first to say I am I do all I can for an ideal world where we're free to chose In my real world you can bet we're gonna lose In the ideal world we can start again But my real world hangs the colour of your skin We could be free together if they would only change In life fools never change With a speck of blue hope in the sky a song of hope a noble thought But how long must people die before the guilty ones are caught Then will you spare a thought For an ideal world we'd be free to chose The ideal world we're no longer born to lose In the ideal world we can start again In my real world put an end to suffering In my real world it's free to chose In my real world put an end to suffering Put an end to suffering put an end to suffering
