[Chorus]
When the world changes, so do we
The same rope pulled in different directions
All that vanity you get sucked into
All those ideas bandied about
Beautiful, cruel world
[Verse 1]
You wake up in the morning to all the same chaos
You no longer know what to expect
The only glance you get's from the convenience store cashier
Close contact's forbidden but contactless can be used
Walking around town, you hear someone screaming
"Go away, far away from this country"
You don’t turn to look, just make your steps more urgent
You hope that help will come from heaven
It went well here, yes
You think in your mind on the way home
And though no one will survive life
Some end up in wars too young
Hey, we don't have that here, but there's a little bird house
Bullshit, open your eyes and look
Here flakes and ruin hover quietly
If someone gets their ass kicked it's one too many
[Chorus]
When the world changes, so do we
The same rope pulled in different directions
All that vanity you get sucked into
All those ideas bandied about
Beautiful, cruel world, let us live
So no one gets shot in the back anymore
Beautiful, cruel world, let us live
So that our comfort won't be taken away
Beautiful, cruel world
[Verse 2]
You're sitting on the couch, feeling comfortable
Pressing a button turns your world on
You get a moment of relief, a moment to recharge
You watch as a group travels to the Arctic ice
The second channel reporting furiously
How there was a huge bang somewhere
Someone sitting somewhere with ten computers
One drone, one button, boom, shot
[Bridge]
What's happening, it's happening
Take a seat, be at ease
Don't fear life
What's happening, it's happening
Dragonfly, hippopotamus, opposites attract
Don't fear life
The middle gets along between the extremes
Don't fear life
The middle gets along between the extremes
Don't fear life
Don't fear life
Don't fear life
Don't fear life
[Chorus]
When the world changes, so do we
The same rope pulled in different directions
All that vanity you get sucked into
All those ideas bandied about
Beautiful, cruel world, let us live
So no one gets shot in the back anymore
Beautiful, cruel world, let us live
So that our comfort won't be taken away
Beautiful, cruel world
Don't fear life
Don't fear life
Don't fear life
Don't fear life
Don't fear life (Don't fear)
Don't fear life
