Lyrics A Better Future - David Bowie

Please don't tear this world asunder

Please take back this fear we're under

I demand a better future

Or I might just stop wanting you

I might just stop wanting you

Please make sure we get tomorrow

All this pain, all this sorrow

I demand a better future

Or I might just stop needing you

I might just stop needing you

Give my children sunny smiles

Give them warm and cloudless skies

I demand a better future

Or I might just stop loving you

loving you, loving you

When you talk

We talk too

When you walk

We walk too

From factory to field

How many tears must fall

Down here below

Nothing is moving

I might just stop wanting you

I might just stop needing you

I might just stop loving you

I demand a better future

For I might just stop loving you

Loving you, loving you

I demand a better future

Or I might just stop loving you

Loving you, loving you

I demand a better future
