I was just a child
My world it was so small
The empty playground swings
The corner shop, the penny drinks
The backyard walls
Of a brave new world
And as those years passed by
I never thought to try
To memorize the dreams
The childhood fantasies
The backyard walls
Of a brave new world
Some things change
Some stay the same
Some don′t even notice
And some feel the strain
It's everyone′s fault and nobody's blame
And who can say if that's too much to ask
I was twenty-four
A small world closed the door
I felt like I should cry
I saw men born to kill and born to die
For this brave new world
Now I′m old and gray
Life has passed my way
Those tears have all run dry
And death′s desperation lies in every eye
In this brave new world
Some things change
Some stay the same
Some don't even notice
And some feel the strain
It′s everyone's fault and nobody′s blame
And who can say if that's too much to ask
In a brave new world
You know you′re dreaming
You know that the streets burn
You know you're dreaming
It's more than a scheme or a design
A brother crushes your world
Some things change
Some stay the same
Some don′t even notice
And some feel the strain
It′s everyone's fault and nobody′s blame
And who can say if that's too much to ask
In a brave new world
You know you′re dreaming
You know that the streets burn
It's a brave new world
You know you′re dreaming
You know that the streets burn
It's a brave new world
You know you're dreaming
When I was just a child
You know that the streets burn
When I was just a child
When I was just a child
You know you′re dreaming
You know that the streets burn
