Stone-wallin voices calling Drowning in the tears of the world. [Verse 2] Big business calling ev’ry tune Polluting here and to the moon. All nations conservations Drowning in the tears of the world. [Bridge 1] But your life’s worth saving We should start behaving Like the truth’s been told by saviours through our time. | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | Your downfall you’ll bring it on yourselves.

Has your heart been weeping Over all unrighteous action in the world | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | Where bad jazz seems all they’re laying down? [Verse 4] No use in turning your blind eye You feel the heat as you fry. Try your best you’ll find no rest Drowning in the tears of the world.
