From Madagascar to Mozambique Washington to Oman The drums of war still beat Business was booming Now your stocks in the can Because New York City Was the promised land Conflict of culture Open season on the free world Now it's North Korea But are bigger flags unfurled? Let's stand tall in uncertain times A world groove is spinning No sense to the signs It's a new world order in infancy here We're losing generations to chaos We're not evolving - we are history now. Fashion is s**y And the catwalk rules No winter collections this year 'cause a slowdown brews Wagner in Israel But hey, Armstrong - now HE was really King Well the Beatles to Ellington kick a** Ya, they're musical genius still sings. I stand in this holy land Divided by only man Jerusalem cries for a better day Fly over oceans far away Human rights in the light of day Reflect a much different world America - call it Disneyland I can't even think about it On and on it goes Its best not to think at all... Earthquake and flood Tornados touching down We've got super bowl action here While aids is k**ing half the town Health and disease in Africa Don't you forget about the acid rain Burning our countryside (down) In money's name Lincoln - Jefferson Rolling over in their graves See modern politicians shrink From making costly waves Can you feel the world groove? Smart bombs and Presidents United Nations - Refugees, mercenaries, bankers, Terrorist stations - Cadillacs, Cartiers Reservations for two - Kids are starving with gluttony In plain view Well, I think I've made my point here That's all for today All I want is one more shot For the epitaph to say: "All they tried to do is make a difference here - that's it."
