Michael Gleason: Western world [lyrics]

Michael Gleason

Western world

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

Fear 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
