World in Action

Everybody wants to know it all
Everybody wants to find the answer
Everybody wants to know the truth
Me, I think I'm just a lazy bastard

Down in the desert there's a brand new sound
For twenty years it's been all the rage now
Seems to come from underground
They're testing something to protect and save now

Above the world, above the atmosphere
To allow for fast communication
The atomic eyes that are cold and clear
The eyes and ears of a generation

I don't wanna see the world on fire
I don't wanna see the main attraction
I don't wanna see the world on fire
I don't wanna see the world in action

Here's a fork and here's a spoon
Eat it up, and eat it faster
Don't think about it, just consume
Keep on going cause it never lasts, yeah

I don't wanna see the world on fire
I don't wanna see the main attraction
I don't wanna see the world on fire
I don't wanna see the world in action

Roll up
Roll up
Pick your part, it's for an all-time hoedown
Roll up
Roll up
Dance yourself silly while you're waiting for the showdown

(Oh!)

Saw a film about a dreadful war
I sympathised with the reluctant hero
He couldn't see what all the fighting was for
He stood there shouting "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!"

Where is my shirt that you ironed for me?
I can never find things when you put them away
Now I should be home in time for tea
I really, really hope you can have a nice day now

I don't wanna see the world on fire
I don't wanna see the main attraction
I don't wanna see the world on fire
I don't wanna see the world in action

World in action
