Before you point the finger, and hope the whole thing disappears,
Remember empty words will fall, a fall upon the deafest ears,
He won't give in without a fight,
And foul play without a doubt,
No silver linen to be seen, in this thundercloud,
No that's not allowed,
In the ideal world, we'll be free to choose,
But in my real world, you can bet we're gonna loose.
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 on my life I've been oppressed,
You're not the first to say I am,
I do all I can,
For an ideal world, where we're free to chose,
For in my real world,
You can bet we're gonna lose,
In the ideal world,We can start again,
Now in my real world, hangs on the colour of your skin.
We could be free forever, if they would only change,
But fools never change.
A speck of blue hope in the sky,
A song of hope, a noble thought,
But how long must the people die,
Before the guilty ones are caught,
Will you spare a thought,
For an ideal world, where we're free to chose.
For an ideal world,where we're no longer born to lose,
In the ideal world, we can start again,
Now in my real world, let's put an end to suffering.
In the ideal world, where I'm free to choose,
Now in my real world,We are safe to air our views,
In the ideal world, we can start again,
Now in my real world, it matters not about the colour of your skin..
Remember empty words will fall, a fall upon the deafest ears,
He won't give in without a fight,
