Land of Confusion - Genesis

Musical Writing Inspiration - Dystopian style

I must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million creams
But I can hear the marching feet
They’re moving into the street

Now did you read news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
There burning into the night

There’s too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can’t you see this is a land of confusion

Well this is the world we’re live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Ooh, Superman where are you now
When everythings gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there’s not much love to go around
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth lining in

I remember long ago when the sun was shining
Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as
I held you tight, so long ago

I won’t be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We’re not just making promises
That we know, we’ll never keep

Too many men, there’s too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see, this is a land of confusion

Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth lining in

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Stand up and let’s start showing
Just where our lives are going to


Ok now get back to writing... love and Phil and the guys!
