People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully So we're different colours And we're different creeds And different people have different needs It's obvious you hate me Though I've done nothing wrong I never even met you So what could I have done I can't understand What makes a man Hate another man Help me understand People are people so why should it be You and I should get along so awfully Help me understand Now you're punching and you're kicking And you're shouting at me I'm relying on your common decency So far it hasn't surfaced But I'm sure it exists It just takes a while to travel From your head to your fist I can't understand What makes a man Hate another man Help me understand |

Here speaks the voice of reason
It's talking to me loud and clearly And obviously, it's something to say Here comes another sentence It is relentless, it tries my patience But neverless, it's for our concern We can't see the benefits So we'll ignore it or disobey it And never say that this is fun This is real fun This is fun |

All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me All of the firsts and the definite lasts That lay in store for me There was a time When all on my mind was love Now I find that most of the time Love's not enough in itself Consequently, I've a tendency to be unhappy You see the thoughts in my head All the words that were said All the blues and the reds get to me There was a time When all on my mind was love Now I find that most of the time Love's not enough in itself All of these absurdities That lay before us All of the doubts and the certainties That lay in store for us There was a time When all on my mind was love (love love love) Now I find that most of the time Love's not enough in itself |

You've got to work hard
You've got to work hard If you want anything at all Nothing comes easy And that's a fact Nothing comes easy But a broken back Nothing comes easy It never will Nothing comes easy But a broken will So work hard |

And do those feet in modern times
Walk upon the flowers And walk upon their brothers While their heads are busy lying low Trying to keep to cover...oh Something went wrong Along the way Everybody's waiting for Judgment day So they can go Told you so Bring me my gun of itching desire Bring me my bullets and I will fire Sights set higher than the tall church spire Standing in line The blind lead the blind Waiting and waiting For an overdue sign Brothers and sisters Playing Chinese whispers If things aren't suited Then they'll get diluted There's one more dead with a hole in his head He shouldn't have said all the things he said Many tears were shed for the blood he bled |

There's more besides joyrides
A little house in the countryside Understand, learn to demand, Compromise, and sometimes lie Get the balance right, get the balance right Be responsible, respectable, Stable but gullible Concerned and caring, help the helpless But always remain ultimately selfish Get the balance right, get the balance right You think you've got a hold of it all You haven't got a hold at all When you reach the top, get ready to drop Prepare yourself for the fall, you're gonna fall It's almost predictable (Almost) Don't turn this way, don't turn that way Straight down the middle until next Thursday Reverse to the left, then back to the right Twist and turn 'til you've got it right Get the balance right, get the balance right |

I've told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure We have reached a full stop Nothing's gonna save us from the big drop Reached our natural conclusion Outlived the illusion I hate being in these situations That call for diplomatic relations If I only knew the answer Or I thought we had a chance Or I could stop this I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer What can I say? (I don't want to play) anymore What can I say? I'm heading for the door I can't stand this emotional violence Leave in silence We've been running around in circles all year Doing this and that and getting nowhere This'll be the last time (I think I said that last time) If I only had a potion, Some magical lotion That could stop this, I would stop this I would set the wheels in motion What can I say? (I don't want to play) anymore What can I say? I'm heading for the door I can't stand this emotional violence Leave in silence |

Get out the crane
Construction time again What is it this time We're laying a pipeline Let the beads of sweat flow Until the ends have met through Could take a long time Working on the pipeline Taking from the greedy Giving to the needy On this golden day Work's been sent our way That could last a lifetime Working on the pipeline From the heart of our land To the mouth of the man Must reach him sometime We're laying a pipeline Taking from the greedy Giving to the needy |

The handshake
Seals the contract From the contract There's no turning back The turning point Of a career In Korea, being insincere The holiday Was fun packed The contract: Still intact The grabbing hands Grab all they can All for themselves After all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The graph On the wall Tells the story Of it all Picture it now See just how The lies and deceit Gained a little more power Confidence Taken in By a sun tan And a grin The grabbing hands Grab all they can All for themselves After all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The grabbing hands Grab all they can Everything counts in large amounts |
