Lyrics Rule the World - The Lyrical

I wanted this verse to hit, like it hits me
To think how we let the world hit shit's creek
Lennon Jr. summed it up well with salt water
Louie Armstrong was right too but just sorta
The world was wonderful, was being the word
So many of these spoken and yet, so little heard
Tree-huggers and Green Peace, you tried to fight
Now the world's fucked up 'cause the hippies were right!
You hear this, you sit back and you think, "Wow!
But there's nothing I can do about it now" Okay
The problem is everybody thinks the same way
And hence, the position that we're in today
Environmentally and mentally the world's the same
Flooding only in parts that doesn't need the rain
World War 1, war 2 and now, the war on terror
Been so many years and we're still blind to error
What? The World's fucked up, so lets fuck it up more?
I bet, now you wish, that they voted Al Gore
One question remains each time your heart pours
What would you do if the world was yours...?

Well if I ruled the world would you know I ruled the world?
And if you ruled the world would there even be a world?

Many say actions out weigh the words
But we can't make actions if words aren't heard
It takes one buffalo to start the herd
A whole damn flock was a single bird
A single drop to start the great ripple
But even SUPERMAN was made a cripple
But we're like the fork and the words a toaster
They say life is a roller coaster
More like a roller coaster with no seat belt
A paradise beach without the sea shells
A birthday cake without the candles
Jesus... without the sandals
Just something missing that should be there
And the whole damn world chooses not to care
Like Christmas Eve without the day after
Listen to the people not just your own laughter...

I try telling the world what I'm already feeling
Scum breathing out smoke you're ready to breath in
Like a baby teething wanna bite down
Discarding anybody telling you ta pipe down
What the world needs is an all round healing
Murdering, corruption, raping, stealing
Racist people, drug dealing
People gotta stand strong and nobody kneeling'

Well if I Ruled the world
What would I do if I ruled the world?
I'd take your map, erase the lines
That's what I'd do, if the world was mine
