Is it any wonder why the world seems to slip away
Rolling out of thunder in the peril of our ship we pray
Is it any wonder how the time will soon pass us by
Leaving us the blunder a mindless class to try

Underneath the impression of a hoax
Comes some clown cracking up the world with jokes
This time there’ll be no time for next time
We’ve got one chance in a million on this crime

Is it any wonder if we let our world slip away
Tearing it asunder like an unruly child with clay
Is it any wonder how clean air is too rare to breathe
All the golden plunder couldn’t pay for the day we’d grieve

Upside down
Turn it back the right way ‘round
It’s your town
Pick ‘em up on what you’ve found
Take them in
Book ‘em for the reason why they can’t win
Cheatin’ on the way to fly

Is it any wonder if we let our world slip away
Slip away . . . Slip away
Slip away . . . Slip away
Slip away
