The grey turned into green, the sunshine blazed
The bicycles were left unlocked for days
Someone handed something out
That took away the doubt
The bands all sounded good when we got fazed 

Chorus:
  You should have been there
  You should have dared
  You should have been there
  We stood and stared
(1)   At a world here everything was shared
(2)   They came in peace but why were we so scared?
(3)   At a world where nothing’s ever fair
  And no-one cared

The songs turned into slogans and we wept
The rain poured down and killed the fire we’d kept
From ideals to decisions
From pioneers to politicians
They sold the revolution while we slept

 Chorus 

We want the earth and still we’re wanting more
They’ve got the earth available in-store
But no-one wants to look around
No-one’s staring too far down
We’re walking on a carpet of the poor 

Chorus
