lyrics

There's terror on the TV screen
It's nothing like you've ever seen:
There's death and hate in every story,
Happy ever afters - they're dead and gone

The henchman and the hooded fiend are waking
In your house of dreams.
We've got gunmen wearing suits at last,
hear them passing judgement on the working class.

We've drained the Earth of all it's worth
Destroyed the children, saved the church
And as the last of our innocence slips away
I hear the sound of marching feet
Across the borders on the streets.
They say that war is on its way here.

It's just another day in the life of the world

Wilfred Owen spread the word but still the angry flags unfurl
Now the glimmer of those sad goodbyes
Is hanging in the air of a September sky

The henchman and the hooded fiend are burning down
Your house of dreams.
Horror hides in commonplace
The tell-tale eyes of a stranger's face.

Naked feet on desert lands
Don't fit with legislative plans
Look out when the tanks roll in,
It's more dangerous now than it's ever been.
If you're passing to the other side,
Look back upon the world tonight,
A veil of tears that spins in space
Crying out for the human race.

We've drained the Earth of all it's worth
Destroyed the children, saved the church
And as the last of our innocence slips away
I hear the sound of marching feet
Across the borders on the streets.
They say that war is on its way here.

It's just a day in the life of the world
We are lost in our own time.
And I saw the Earth crumble into dirt,
Reflected by the distance in your eyes.
