Ideal World by The Christians Lyrics

Before you point the finger
And hope the whole thing disappears
Remember empty words will fall
And fall upon the deafest ears

He won't give in without a fight
And foul play without a doubt
No silver lining to be seen
In this thundercloud
Oh, that's not allowed

In the ideal world
We'd be free to choose
But in my real world
You can bet we're going to loose

Your money fills your pockets
Fear fills their tiny minds
At last the world is talking now
This ain't no way to treat mankind
A sudden blackout stops the show
But doesn't stop the way I am
'Cause all my life I've been oppressed
You're not the first to say I am
I do all I can

For an ideal world
Where we're free to choose
But in my real world
Oh, you can get we're going to lose

In the ideal world
We could start again
But my real world
Hangs on the colour of your skin

We could be free forever
If they would only change
But fools never change
Oho, no

A speck of blue up in the sky
A song of hope, a noble thought
But how long must the people die
Before the guilty ones are caught?
Oh, will you spare a thought?
For an ideal world
Where we're free to choose
For an ideal world
And we're no longer born to lose

In the ideal world
We could start again
Now in my real world
Let's put an end to suffering
End suffering

In the ideal world
We're now free to choose
Oh, in my real world
We are safe to air our views

In the ideal world
We can start again
Now in my real world
It matters not about the colour of your skin

Ideal world
Free to choose
Ideal world
Oh, there's much a man can do
Ideal world
Start again
Ideal world
We're goin' to start again
