Story of the World - Death

The world will never be free

The world will never have peace

The world will never be free

Because we are not one

One, one, one, one

I looked behind my back and there he was

His screaming eyes could not be so bright

He was not stranger looking than you or me

With different thoughts and that wasn’t right

This is the story of the world

Where actors come, and actors go

You are not trusted till you know

And even then you are alone

Sometimes a man is judged by the way he thinks

And this is why the world is not one

… but can not see

Taking no excuse because there’s none

Our world is in the hands of fools

So many others besides you

They seldom give, but always take

There’s only so much you can do

I used to … of do it Jack

Everything that it can not see

And no one wants to stand up and say they’re wrong

So private’s right before honesty

This is the story of the world

Where hide and seek’s a way of life

Hide from everything that’s real

And seek what others say is right
