I stand on the platform
I get herded into the train
My boss is a moron
My life seems to have no aim
I look at the headlines
And I'm filled with a powerless rage
I flinch at my deadlines
I feel like I'm in a cage
But through the window the trees and the birds and the river go by
I wish instead of this shamed rubber bread I could eat up the sky
And be satisfied
And you can scream at it all
It's still a beautiful world when the sun shines
We've got fools in charge of it all
But it's a beautiful world in the moonlight
There's so much I want to forget
But it's a beautiful world, and though they do try
They've not spoiled everything yet
It's still a beautiful world (it's still a beautiful world)
Some guy writes a memo
Ten thousand people's lives are changed
And it's the same M.O. all over the corporate game
And I'm just a minnow
A small fish inside a goldfish bowl
Who cares I've no ammo?
Who cares I've got no control?
And then the sun in the dale puts the scale on the valley below
And the trees in the mist just insist that the further you go
The less that you know
And you can scream at it all
It's still a beautiful world when the sun shines
We've got fools in charge of it all
But it's a beautiful world in the moonlight
There's so much I want to forget
But it's a beautiful world, and though they do try
They've not spoiled everything yet
It's still a beautiful world (it's still a beautiful world)
It's still a beautiful world
It rains in my office
It's raining on the Sunshine Coast
It's raining all around the world
Except in places that need it most
But we've been blessed in abundance
And we could fix it if we wanted to
And the fact we choose not to
Doesn't make the world less beautiful
Cos you can scream at it all
It's still a beautiful world when the sun shines
We've got fools in charge of it all
But it's a beautiful world in the moonlight
There's so much I want to forget
But it's a beautiful world, and though they do try
They've not spoiled everything yet
It's still a beautiful world (it's still a beautiful world)
It's still a beautiful world (it's still a beautiful world)
It's still a beautiful world (it's still a beautiful world)
It's still a beautiful world (it's still a beautiful world)
It's still a beautiful world
It's still a beautiful world
It's still a beautiful world
It's still a beautiful world
