I've known you forever,
You've known me for just one night
Can't you see I'm frightened,
I don't want to say goodbye

Wrap your arms around me,
Let me sleep forever more
That's the world that's out there,
Please don't open up that door

They want you, they want me
They want things that should not be
Robots of society
Don't let them take my life from me!
I don't want to be like you (repeat)

I don't want to scare you
I don't want to make you cry
But I think I've forgotten
You and I are going to die

So why just waste the hours?
Why pretend to be alright?
Life is so uncertain
This could be our final night

I confess I'm afraid
I don't want to waste away
I've taken your advice
I even prayed to Jesus Christ!
But I'm still down here dying now! (repeat)

I've been to the temples
To plead my case before the Lord
God, I hope you're listening
Won't you open up the door?

I am sorry, Father
If I have offended thee
But if you will not help us
Then you are offending me

I know you, you know me
We've seen things that should not be
We've seen children lose their way
We've seen people in their graves
With no God to save them now (repeat)

God is Peace, God is Love
But God's in Heaven up above
Has he seen the tortured face
Dying in the human race
We should tear the whole thing down (repeat)

I've seen war, I've seen hate
I've seen murder, I've seen rape
I've seen children in the street
begging just for food to eat!
Yes, I think we've had enough

Stop the world

I'm getting off!
