All those stories that used to say
There's a new world begins today
Bad old days just a memory
Trouble is that it seems to me
It's the same old planet
Golden dreams of a golden age
Silver tongue of an ancient sage
When the promise is half-fulfilled
Seems it's time for you to pay all the bills
No, no, no, not on the planet
I had a vision the other night
Woken up by an angel of light
She sang a song so pure and bright
A simple tale of how it might
Have been
My political friend tells me I've got to fight
He says I've got to stand up for my rights
Well that's all right, my friend, you know I will
Just one thing you know I ain't gonna k**
No, no, no, not on the planet
Go take me flying out of this place
To another time and some other space
I'm just another soldier fallen from grace
Won't you see me with a smile on my face?
No, no, no, not on the planet
It's a new world
Not on the planet
It's the same old planet
Not on the planet
It's a new world
Not on the planet
But it's the same old planet...
