Western World

They're turning out
Another victim of the current
Swept away into the social sea
A new addition
To the modern human family
Ooh, an easy target
For the prophets of the new age
Value neutral and conviction free
An open mind of intellectual diplomacy

How long will we listen to the lies
While the seer and the sage pretend?
How long 'til we see with open eyes
That they lead us to a bitter end?

Living every dream
Of the Western World
Carried in the stream
Of the Western World
Yeah, we'll be captured by the theme
Of the Western World

Oh, they fantasize
About the wealth of their potential
And sing praises
To the self-made man
Another step
Into the evolutionary plan, yeah
Fear will ever take
Their logic to conclusion
It's much too easy
To believe what they say
We buy it all with no idea
Of the price we'll pay

How long will we listen to the lies
While the seer and the sage pretend?
How long 'til we see with open eyes
That they lead us to a bitter end?

Living every dream
Of the Western World
Ooh, carried in the stream
Of the Western World
Yeah, we'll be captured by the theme
Of the Western World, hey!

Well, they're turning out
Another victim of the current
Like a drop into the raging sea
To find his future
In the land of opportunity

How long will we listen to the lies
While the seer and the sage pretend?
How long 'til we see with open eyes
That they lead us to a bitter end?

Looking for the dream
Of the Western World
Drowning in the stream
Of the Western World
Buried by the theme
Of the Western World
Yeah, we'll be looking for the dream
Of the western world

Oh-whoa-whoa...
Western world
Living every dream
Carried by the stream
Captured by the theme
We'll be living every dream
Of the western world
