Too Much Too

At night as you look to the
west youÕll notice that the sun sets with a sigh.
As it travels oÕer the earth
itÕs sometimes glad the cloud obscures its sight.
It sees how many people, try
to make ends meet,
And that all for one and one
for all is nothing but a load of bull,
So many people say him, ÒI
wanna rule the world all for one, all the world.Ó
Vs 2
The train of progress pushes
on through the stations one by one.
Ear marked for profit, ooh
the mighty dollar sings its song.
Some people donÕt know what
theyÕve got, until itÕs gone,
And then itÕs often too late
to turn the odds around.
WeÕve gotta stop this train,
itÕs headinÕ for a crash and kill us all.
Vs 3
Too much too soon, you know
thatÕs what they always said was wrong.
You can cover it with gold,
and glitter, and anything you want.
But everything will come
back, to where it all began,
The children will all pay
our debts it seems we always have.
As long as weÕre okay today
weÕll think about tomorrow when it comes.
So many people say him, ÒI
wanna rule the world all for one.Ó
WeÕve gotta stop this train,
itÕs headinÕ for a crash and kill us all.
