Brave New World

Everybody is demanding
a certain lust for life
eveybody wants to live in peace
(Wouldn't that be kind?)
but it's meaning just can't be
the counterpart of war
it's more an attitude of mind
repeated summit conferences
of the rulers on this earth
but is there any confidence
between these talk-talk-talking heads?

Is this the native place
for every man and every race
Is this a place for boys and girls
or just a brave new world?

So many people are denying
the threat of a new world war
they simply want to live their lives
(oh please no tears)
but this wording just can't be
the counterpart of death
life should be free from everlasting fear
but there've never been innocent
kings and leaders on this earth
only fear and ignorance
within these heads 'til holy death

Is this the native place
for every man and every race
Is this a place for boys and girls
or just a brave new world?
