The Human Family Band - 'So Far Away'

see the union jack faded
hanging on its mast
it’s glory days long over
its staring at the past
‘n’ power hidden
by a democratic mask
have left a ship full of holes
that ship is sinking fast

endless wars once fed the greed
brought it to its knees
yet capital needs no friend nor a boundary
it’s the money games-a -turning
as the world spins round
the sun is rising in the east
in the west it’s going down

a new world order dawning
yet firmiluar lines remain
for every master needs a slave
every slave a chain
to hold control
never let you free
the answers stil so far away
love peace equality
