Listen To The World

Listen To The World - Benjamin Britten

Written by：Albert Hammond/A. Hammond/M. Hazelwood

Listen to the world the world the world

Listen to the people cry

Listen to the world the world the world

Do you ever wonder why

We don't see eye to eye

English doesn't flow enough

Chinese isn't slow enough

Russian we don't know enough

To tell them how we feel

All those preachers tellin' you

You're religious good for you

Perfect for the whole world too

If they know what's good for them

Oh listen to the world the world the world

Listen to the people cry

Listen to the world the world the world

Do you ever wonder why

We don't see eye to eye

Did you ever listen to the TV ad man's spiel

Love is just another way to make another deal

Don't you feel a bit ashamed

For the politician's game

Yet we signed beside his name

And put him where he is

Oh listen to the world the world the world

Listen to the people cry

Listen to the world the world the world

Do you ever wonder why

We don't see eye to eye

The voice of the people should echo far and wide

Instead of keeping what they feel bottled up inside

Let the people have their say

Tomorrow isn't far away

It should be better than today

If we raise our voices

Oh listen to the world the world the world

Listen to the people cry

Listen to the world the world the world

Do you ever wonder why

We don't see eye to eye

Listen to the world the world the world

Listen to the people cry

Listen to the world the world the world

Did you ever wonder why

You don't see eye to eye

Listen to the world the world the world

Listen to the people cry

Oh listen to the world the world the world

Did you ever wonder why

You don't see eye to eye

Listen to the world the world the world

Listen to the people cry
