Betrayal words and music by Bob MacKenzie The world it is turning, but into what? What are we becoming? What have we wrought? I've been out in the jungle and on the city street, I've been out on the edge where the Earth and Sky meet; I've sometimes been political and sometimes been correct, and I've seen whole worlds destroyed by hatred and neglect. The world it is turning, but into what? What are we becoming? What have we wrought? The change is inside us, all around too; nothing can stop it except me and you. I've been beaten by The Man and I've been at the top, been the latest martyr, and been a P. C. cop; the revolution's carried me along a bitter path, my comrades gone before me to face a bloody wrath. Come, join the party baby, see lights shine in the sky honour all conformity and may you never die; you cannot be alternative or diff'rent than the rest; you cannot start a commune and hide out in the west. The world it is turning, but into what? What are we becoming? What have we wrought? The change is inside us, all around too; nothing can stop it except me and you. I've loved you as a woman and held you close to me, thought you were my lover when you thought you were free; I've been across the desert sands, seen anarchy and chaos and I've seen my world destroyed by all your betrayals. The change is inside us, all around too; nothing can stop it except me and you. Nothing can stop it except me and you. And I've seen my world destroyed by all your betrayals. | ||
