LYRICS –
A self-obsessed, cruel world,
Why must it be this way?
Look around, humanity falls apart,
Why must it be this way?
They’re selling heaven in hushed tones,
While carving up grave stones,
But freedom’s just a spoken word,
Why must it be this way?
Empty, lonely, broken world yeah,
Tell me, who we, have become, who?
Empty, lonely, broken world yeah.
Coz it’s an,
Empty, lonely, broken world yeah,
Tell me, who we, have become, who?
Empty, lonely, broken world yeah.
Love has become unknown and,
Life is cheaper than things we own,
It’s a sign of the times…
Demons within us growing,
Bigger even than God all knowing,
A sign of the times,
It’s a sign of the times…
Empty, lonely, broken world yeah,
Tell me, who we, have become, who?
Empty, lonely, broken world yeah.
Yes it’s an,
Empty, lonely, broken world yeah,
Tell me, who we, have become, who?
Empty, lonely, broken world yeah.
