All those stories that used to say
There’s a new world begins today
Bad old days just a memory
Trouble is that it seems to me ’ yeah’ yeah’ yeah
It’s the same old planet
Golden dreams of a golden age
Silver tongue of an ancient sage
When the prose is half fulfilled
Seems it’s time for you to pay all the bills ’ no’ no no
Not on the planet
I had a vision the other night
Woken up by an angel of light
She sang a song so pure and bright
A simple tale of how it might have been
My political friend tells me I’ve got to fight
He says I’ve got to stand up for my rights
Well that’s all right my friend you know I will
Just one thing you know ’ I ain’t gonna kill ’ no’ no no
Not on the planet
Not on the planet
It’s a new world ’ but it’s the same old planet
