Western World

Lyrics

They're turning out Another victim of the current Swept away into the social sea A new addition To the modern human family Ooh, an easy target For the prophets of the new age Value neutral and conviction free An open mind of intellectual diplomacy How long will we listen to the lies While the seer and the sage pretend? How long 'til we see with open eyes That they lead us to a bitter end? Living every dream Of the Western World Carried in the stream Of the Western World Yeah, we'll be captured by the theme Of the Western World Oh, they fantasize About the wealth of their potential And sing praises To the self-made man Another step Into the evolutionary plan, yeah Few will ever take Their logic to conclusion It's much too easy To believe what they say We buy it all with no idea Of the price we'll pay How long will we listen to the lies While the seer and the sage pretend? How long 'til we see with open eyes That they lead us to a bitter end? Living every dream Of the Western World Ooh, carried in the stream Of the Western World Yeah, we'll be captured by the theme Of the Western World, hey! Well, they're turning out Another victim of the current Like a drop into the raging sea To find his future In the land of opportunity How long will we listen to the lies While the seer and the sage pretend? How long 'til we see with open eyes That they lead us to a bitter end? Looking for the dream Of the Western World Drowning in the stream Of the Western World Buried by the theme Of the Western World Yeah, we'll be looking for the dream Of the western world Oh-whoa-whoa... Western world Living every dream Carried by the stream Captured by the theme We'll be living every dream Of the western world
