A World of Our Own

Fairweather friends are chasing the weather
They don't call us now
Fairweather friends, don't you bother
We don't want you anyhow

So close the door on the day
Close the door on the world's cruel ways
Close the door, let's stay at home
We'll start a world of our own

Billboards beckon, they say come and buy
Is there nothing that's not for sale
Seems no matter what you're buying
It's just shares in someone's jail

So close the door on the day
Close the door on the world's cruel ways
Close the door, let's stay at home
We'll start a world of our own

I'm not saying we should stop believing
No, that's when your spirit dies
I'm not saying we should stop believing
Just stop believing lies

My father told me, stick with your family
And he was right, now I have no doubt
And he told me in only half a joke
Your friends are your friends 'til you find them out

So close the door on the day
Close the door on the world's cruel ways
Close the door, let's stay at home
We'll start a world of our own

So close the door on the day
Close the door on the world's cruel ways
Close the door, let's stay at home
We'll start a world of our own
