I want to be in the witness protection programme
I don't like what we've become
We've become borderline obsessive compulsives
Stop the world I want to get off with you baby
Stop right now

And it seems to me it's the way it's gonna be
No-one out there wants to see the things I see
It's a crazy world a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free
Oh what a world

We lost power long ago
We reap what we have sown
We have no conscience to speak of
It's sheer madness
Don't take the moral high ground
Hide behind your fake words
It's just an excuse
For your weakness

What a lost opportunity, don't be upset with me
What about all the secrets here on Earth
We unbottled the genie living out fantasies
Fell for the propaganda badly
Oh what a world

And it seems to me it's the way it's gonna be
No-one out there wants to see the things I see
It's a crazy world a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free

And it seems to me it's the way it's gonna be
No-one out there wants to see the things I see
It's a crazy world a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free
Oh what a world
