Lyrics Steve Lukather

Steve Lukather

New World

I woke up on a sidewalk

In a dream where no one heard a single word I screamed

It was somewhere in the future

This is not the perfect world that I thought it would be

I wandered by the White House

All the weeds and broken bottles scattered everywhere

All the greed and bad intentions

Our refusal to prevent them - I just stood and stared

Empty highways, flooded towns

Is it way too late to turn it all around?

Take your soul and throw it away

You won't need it in the new world

Where there's no one left to save

We gotta take our stand, it's judgement day

If we ignore the final warning

It's a new world

We gotta pay for our history

I woke up feeling shitty

Drank a half a pot of coffee just to clear my head

As I read the morning paper

I'm not feeling any safer after what I just read

Empty highways, flooded towns

Is it way too late to turn it all around?

Follow me now to higher ground

If we wait any longer then this world will tumble down

Those who were lost soon will be found

It's our destiny

Take your soul and throw it away

You won't need it in the new world

Where there's no one left to save

We gotta take our stand, it's judgement day

If we ignore the final warning

(If we ignore the final warning )
