How did it all come to this, where did it all go wrong Did we not shout loud enough, did you not hear our song You looked down on us mere mortals, while we tried to talk of peace Developing your acts of war, more ways to kill the weak This perfect world Is built upon the bones Of the ones less powerful Than the masters on the thrones This perfect world Is choking on the blood Of a million lost souls Bodies broken in the mud This perfect world Stealing life and dealing death Drowning in a sea of pain Clawing desperately for breath This perfect world Is a world with no respect The arrogance of power Is a world that I reject Palm oil and soya fields replace forests of the planet All the species kept in cages cos we've destroyed their habitat Surrounded by the products that we must have to survive Pouring millions into countries to keep their population alive This perfect world Is built upon the bones Of the ones less powerful Than the masters on the thrones This perfect world Is choking on the blood Of a million lost souls Bodies broken in the mud This perfect world Stealing life and dealing death Drowning in a sea of pain Clawing desperately for breath This perfect world Is a world with no respect The arrogance of power Is a world that I reject Sell your weapons to both sides then sanction all their food Sitting safe behind your walnut desk in cowardice you brood Taunting, you force a hand, stirring conflict, starting war Making millions from their blood as you weaponize the poor This perfect world Power competes for power Players in a great game This perfect world Dictate to the poor Our fear they adore This perfect world Power competes for power Giants absolved of blame This perfect world Dictate to the poor In their godforsaken war In the media you crow how we destroy the human rights Watching millions leave their homeland carrying nothing but their plight The exploited funding arms in a desperate wave of pain Yet in safety you condemn as you cast away the blame This perfect world Is built upon the bones Of the ones less powerful Than the masters on the thrones This perfect world Is choking on the blood Of a million lost souls Bodies broken in the mud This perfect world Stealing life and dealing death Drowning in a sea of pain Clawing desperately for breath This perfect world Is a world with no respect The arrogance of power Is a world that I reject Kicking back with your feet up, you're still warm and dry Watch the world get decimated and never question why The last news item is fading from your mind Behind the door there's my nightmare, its the world you leave behind
