We Are Not the World Songtext

von Silverstein

I’ve alway been your favourite game,
And all the world’s your spot lit stage.
I’m just another extra in your play – the fool.

Turn on, tune in. I’m ready for your drama.
Tape up, weigh in. You’re throwing every hook tonight.
Your charismatic lies make tears run down their cheeks.
I’ve lost the only thing I need. Here’s to the plaintiff.
And now you’ve taken her away.

I’ve alway been your favourite game,
And all the world’s your spot lit stage.
I’m just another extra in your play; your fool.

Pull out the pin; I’m falling on the grenade now.
Don’t shoot, don’t shoot. I’m just a kid like you.
We fight for billionaires who bomb our city street armed to the teeth.
Divide the youth for corporate greed, here’s to the propaganda.
And now they take your life away.

I’ve alway been your favourite game,
And all the world’s your spot lit stage.
I’m just another extra in your play. [x2]

And now that war has been declared, how long until bombs burst in air?
We’ve come too far just to let this die, to throw this away.

I’ve alway been your favourite game,
And all the world’s your spot lit stage.
I’m just another extra in your play. [x2]

In you’re play. [x3] Your fool.

We are not the world.
