Strange world
Time’s running out
It’s crazy
Make me want to shout
No escape
Nowhere to turn
Clock keep ticking, ticking, ticking
No money to burn
Living in a strange world
Oh, oh, oh
Living in a strange world
Oh, oh, oh
Living in a strange world
Oh, oh, oh
Heartbreak
And desolation
It’s a cruel world
There’s so much frustration
Anger
The world’s going mad
Contamination
It’s getting real bad
Oh, it’s getting real bad
Living in a strange world
Oh, oh, oh
Living in a strange world
Oh, oh, oh
Living in a strange world
Oh, oh, oh
Don’t give up without a fight
You know everything’s gonna be all right
You got to be strong to survive
Got to keep hope alive
Keep hope alive
Destiny
Is an act of fate, an act of fate
The sun comes up tomorrow, up tomorrow
It’s never too late, it’s never too late
Never too late
Living in a strange world
Oh, oh, oh
Living in a strange world
Oh, oh, oh
Living in a strange world
Oh, oh, oh
