(Andy Fraser)



Look around, my brother

There's a world at your command

You'd realize it

If you'd only lift your head up from your hands

Sail away from your troubles

Free as a bird up in the sky

Paradise is waiting in your mind



Ain't no use sat complaining

Woman, that life don't go our way

Idly wishing that tomorrow

Will come save us from today

Being tired of living with no money in your hand

Trying to find someone to understand



It's a mean ol' world

But it's up to us

To make it heaven, here and now



It's a mean ol' world

But it's up to us

To make it heaven, here and now



So come on, let's get together

Sharing in love and happiness

Dah etc, whooo etc



Yeah it's a mean ol' world

But it's up to us

To make it heaven, here and now



Whooo etc, dana dana etc
