Walking down the street in the acid rain
Soaked to the skin can you feel my pain
All I ever wanted was a place to call home
Lost and abandoned this earth I roam
All that I needed was a thing called love
A star to shine on me from the heavens above
Just need somebody to understand 
Rescue me and take my by the hand 

I wanna hear the truth 
From the mouth of a liar
The sky is just a purple haze
The planet is ablaze 
The world is on fire
The world is on fire

I can't  see the future I'm a nowhere man
One day at a time doing the best I can
Just need a little meaning to my life
All that I get is trouble and strife
Hey mister politician why ain't you listening to me
Revolution is coming just wait and see
No more talking it's time to fight
Man the barricades freedom is in sight

I gaze through the misty morning 
A brand new day is  gently dawning
Was it all just a crazy vivid illusion
Nothing has changed just confusion
The war still rages and the fight goes on
Liberty equality and fraternity sing the song
One day my friend You will rejoice in splendour 
My message to you is never surrender

I wanna hear the truth 
From the mouth of a liar
The sky is just a purple haze
The planet is ablaze 
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
