Way Of The World

If you take the tears from crying eyeswill the hurt just disappearput a weapon in the hands of a frightened manwill he show no fearso we stand and we watch as the city lights go out one by oneMother Nature sits on the other side with a loaded gunWhy is there blue skywhy is there red sky,now's the time to ask the reason,should the blue sky, meet the red skyshould the rules have to change at allwe all know whatever they say, time is on our sideOoh this world has been here before just going round and roundWe all agree as far as we can seeIt's just the way of the world,that's how it's meant to beThere's right and there's wrongThere's weak - oh and there's strongIt's just the way of the worldand that's how it's meant to beTake the motion from a spinning wheel and watch it stopTake the danger out of a naked flame and what have you gotIf you take the anger out of a broken heart, you feel no painCould you swear if you had that second chance you wouldn't do it again.Why is there blue skywhy is there red sky,now's the time to ask the reason,should the blue sky, meet the red skyshould the rules have to change at allwe all know whatever they say, time is on our sideThis world has been here before just going round and roundWe all agree as far as we can seeIt's just the way of the world,and that's how it's meant to beThere's right and there's wrongThere's weak - oh and there's strongIt's just the way of the worldand that's how it's meant to beWe all agree as far as we can seeIt's just the way of the world,and that's how it's meant to beThere's right and there's wrongThere's weak - oh and there's strongCos it's just the way of the world
