Land Of Confusion By Genesis |
|
I remember when this song came out and the video (with Gorbachev's and the Reagans as puppets) in the 1980s. I heard this song on the radio today, and the song resonates to me more so in this day and age. Read the lyrics.

Land Of Confusion Genesis
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street.
Now did you read the news today They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fire's 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 round Can't you see 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 living in.
Ooh Superman where are you now When everything's 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 round 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 living in.
I remember long ago - Ooh 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 Can't 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 fighting for.
This is the world we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to

3. Cool! I bet that would sound good 'metallic' so-to-speak. |

4. the drums and guitar are amazing. |
|
the voice doesn't match though, if you aren't a metal fan, you probably wouldn't really like the vocals.
