This is a live performance of the song “Is This the World We Created… ?” from when Queen played at the Rock in Rio festival in January 1985.
Queen released a high quality, touched-up version of the song on the 2011 remaster of their 1984 album The Works.
[Verse 1]
Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need
[Chorus]
Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living for today?
The world that we created
[Verse 2]
You know that everyday a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by
Oh
[Chorus]
Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If there's a God up in the sky, looking down
What must he think of what we've done
To the world that He created?
