This is the world that we live in,
Some will prosper while most are suffering,
This is the world in which we're from,
We strive merely for riches, but we will die with none,

And I know this all feels wrong,
So much disparity in such a beautiful song,
I know this don't feel right,
We always lose the battle, but always gain a fight,

This is the world that we live in,
Sorrows are many and peace is seldom,
And this is the world in which we're from,
We will die in the darkness, but we will rise with the sun,

I know this all feels wrong,
And I know this don't feel right,
We always lose the battle, but always gain a fight,

We will love and we will lose,
We will fight and we will bruise,
We will love and we will lose,
We will fight and we will bruise,

I know this all feels wrong,
So much disparity in such a beautiful song,
And I know this don't feel right,
Sorrow will come and we will dance tonight,

Shalalalala, we will dance tonight,
Shalalalala, we will dance tonight, yeah,
Shalalalala, we will dance tonight, yeah,
Shalalalala, we will dance tonight.
