Genesis - Way Of The World lyrics

will the hurt just disappear

put a weapon in the hand of a frightened man

will he show no fear

so we stand and we watch while the city lights go out one by one

Mother Nature sits on the other side with a loaded gun

Why is there blue sky

why is there red sky,

now's the time to

ask the reason,

should the blue sky,

meet the red sky

should the rules have to change at all

we all know whatever they say,

time is on our side

This world has been here

before just going round and

round and round

We all agree as far as we can see

It's just the way of the world,

that's how it's meant to be

There's right and there's wrong

There's weak and there's strong

It's just the way of the world

and that's how it's meant to be

Take the motion from a

spinning wheel and watch it stop

Take the danger out of a

naked flame and what have you got

If you take the anger out of a broken heart,

you feel no pain

Could you swear if you had that second

chance you wouldn't do it again.

Why is there blue sky

why is there red sky,

now's the time to ask the reason,

should the blue sky,

meet the red sky

should the rules have to change at all

we all know whatever they say,

time is on our side

This world has been here

before just going round and

round and round

We all agree as far as we can see

It's just the way of the world,

that's how it's meant to be

There's right and there's wrong

There's weak and there's strong

It's just the way of the world

and that's how it's meant to be
