George Harrison: Tears of The World

War mongers terrorize us all
Our leaders heed us to their call
Stonewalling, voices calling
Drowning in the tears of the world

Big business calling ev'ry tune
Polluting here and to the moon
All nations, conservations
Drowning in the tears of the world

But your life's worth saving
We should start behaving
Like the truth's been told
By saviours through our time
Your downfall, you bring it on yourselves

All warning fall upon deaf ears
Their scorn compounding my worst fears
No way out, hopeless souls shout
Drowning in the tears of the world

Drowning in the tears of the world
Tears of the world

Where's your love been sleeping?
Has your heart been weeping
Over all unrighteous action in the world
Where bad jazz seems all they're laying down?

No use in turning your blind eye
You feel the heat as you fry
Try your best, you'll find no rest
Drowning in the tears of the world
It's a sure bet, each pays his debts
Drowning in the tears of the world

Unbelievable that this was left off Somewhere in England. The songs the record company rejected were MUCH better than most of what ended up on the album. George gets the shaft again!

lyrically, one of the greatest ever, no one makes the guitar sound as beautiful yet sad like he does.

purtroppo,gli uomini non hanno imparato nulla dalla storia e adesso siamo nei pasticci.

@Alexkrasnoshek please explain your definition of the anti-word-ism you call "Ungodless" ???? its a pretty cool word... I am claiming it and its going to be the name of my christian rock band... lol. *Dibs

[nafaidni]

The record company thought this song was talking about them. :O

@Alexkrasnoshek

1: Godless, not ungodless.

2. Agreed, but he did not destroy the Beatles. Nor did he "hate" the Lord, whatever that might be.

[Alexkrasnoshek]

@nafaidni Because Lennon was ungodless men and hated The Lord, of course he did not sing any of his

song and he destroyed The Beatles with the same ungodless wife

[residentevlidead]

@nafaidni Not at all, just a little thought though, the ex Beatles were fond of writing songs for eachother though, especially Ringo, just imagine what Lennon would've sounded like though singing this, in the same vein of Gimme some truth, mind games, or bring on the lucie,

[nafaidni]

@residentevlidead

Lennon didn't usually sing anything written by George.

[residentevlidead]

sounds like a John Lennon song, I wonder why George didn't give it to him to sing

[paulocapella]

Saudades de você, George.
