We are not the world

I´ve always been your favorite game
And all the world´s your spot lit stage
I´m just another extra in your play - the fool
(Turn on, tune in)
I´m ready for your drama
(Tape up, weigh in)
You´re throwing every hook tonight
Your charismatic lies make tears run down their cheeks
(Run down their cheeks)
I´ve lost the only thing I need
Here´s to the plaintiff
And now you´ve taken her away
I´ve always been your favorite game
And all the world´s your spot lit stage
Just another extra in your play, your fool
(Pull out the pin)
I´m falling on the grenade now
(Don´t shoot, don´t shoot)
I´m just a kid like you
We fight for billionaires who bomb our city streets
(Armed to the teeth)
Divide the youth for corporate greed
Here´s to the propaganda
And now they take your life away
I´ve always been your favorite game
And all the world´s your spot lit stage
Just another extra in your play
[x2]
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
[x2]
(We´re not the world)
In your play
(We´re not the world)
In your play - the fool
(We are not the world)
And all the world´s your spot lit stage
I´m just another extra in your play - the fool
(Turn on, tune in)
I´m ready for your drama
(Tape up, weigh in)
You´re throwing every hook tonight
Your charismatic lies make tears run down their cheeks
(Run down their cheeks)
I´ve lost the only thing I need
Here´s to the plaintiff
And now you´ve taken her away
I´ve always been your favorite game
And all the world´s your spot lit stage
Just another extra in your play, your fool
(Pull out the pin)
I´m falling on the grenade now
(Don´t shoot, don´t shoot)
I´m just a kid like you
We fight for billionaires who bomb our city streets
(Armed to the teeth)
Divide the youth for corporate greed
Here´s to the propaganda
And now they take your life away
I´ve always been your favorite game
And all the world´s your spot lit stage
Just another extra in your play
[x2]
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
[x2]
(We´re not the world)
In your play
(We´re not the world)
In your play - the fool
(We are not the world)
