Lyrics Silverstein

Silverstein

We Are Not the World

I've always been your favorite game

And all the world's your sparkling stage

Just another extra in your play, the fool

Tonight, tonight

I'm ready for your drama

Stay calm, ...

You're throwing every hook tonight

Your charismatic lines

Make tears run down their cheeks

I've lost the only thing I need

Here's to the plaintiff

And now you've taking her away

I've always been your favorite game

And all the world's your sparkling stage

Just another extra in your play, your fool

Pull out the pin

Fallen a bomb grenade now

Don't shoot, don't shoot

I'm just a kid like you

We fight for billionaires who bomb our city streets

What do I chase?

To find a use for corporate green

Here's to the propaganda

And then they take your life away

I've always been your favorite game

And all the world's your sparkling stage

Just another extra in your play

I've always been your favorite game

And all the world's your sparkling stage

Just another extra in your play

And now that war has been declared

How long until bombs burst in air

We've come too far

Just to let this die, to throw this away

I've always been your favorite game

And all the world's your sparkling stage

Just another extra in your play

I've always been your favorite game

And all the world's your sparkling stage

Just another extra in your play

(You're not the ones)

In your play

(We're not the ones)

In your play, your fool

(We are not the fools)
