Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

One World

Some of us live like princes

Some of us live like queens

Most of us live just like me

And we don't know what it means

To take our place in one world

To make our peace in one world

To make our way in one world

To have our say in one world.

If you ain't got two words to say

Then I can't talk to you

No use crying, there's been no crime

I say it's just the way the wind blows

Just the name of the game

The way of the world

The way of the world

Just the way of the world

Just the way of the world.

Cold and lonely, cold and lonely

Cold and lonely world, for some

Cold and lonely, cold and lonely

Cold and lonely

Just a cold and lonely world for some.

There's one world, like it or not

There's one world, believe it or not

There's one world

There's one world, leave it or not

One world, like it or not

There's one world.

Some of us live like princes

Some of us live like queens

Most of us live just like me

And we don't know what it means

To take our place in one world

To take our place in one world

To make our love in one world

Make our way in one world

One world, one world.
