All those stories that used to say 
There's a new world begins today 
Bad old days just a memory 
Trouble is that it seems to me - yeah, yeah, yeah 
It's the same old planet 


Golden dreams of a golden age 
Silver tongue of an ancient sage 
When the prose is half fulfilled 
Seems it's time for you to pay all the bills - no, no no 
Not on the planet 


I had a vision the other night 
Woken up by an angel of light 
She sang a song so pure and bright 
A simple tale of how it might have been 


My political friend tells me I've got to fight 
He says I've got to stand up for my rights 
Well that's all right my friend you know I will 
Not on the planet 


Go take me flying out of this place 
To another time and some other space 
I'm just another soldier fallen from grace 
Won't you see me with a smile on my face? 

No,no,no! 
Not on the planet 
(Not on the planet) 
It's a new world 
(Not on the planet) 
It's the same old planet 
(Not on the planet) 
It's a new world 
(Not on the planet) 
But it's the same old planet 
(Not on the planet) 
It's a new world 
(Not on the planet) 
It's the same old planet 
(Not on the planet) 
It's a new world 
(Not on the planet) 
It's the same old planet 
(Not on the planet)
