Pour Le Monde

Crowded House · Time On Earth [2007]

He imagines the world

As the angel ascending

Like the ghost of a man

who is tied up to the chair



And he tries to believe

that his life has a meaning

with his hand on his heart

Pour le monde pas pour la guerre



And I wake up blind

like my dreams were to bright

and I lost my regard

for the good things that I had

and the radio was sad

when you listen for good



In a hope that comes to nothing

cos the liars have moved in

and they believe their own dark medicine



You act so nonchalont

but he is not a dog

perform for you in the stadium

for the world not for the war



And he won't hesitate

though it might lead to heartache

in the night club indigo

for the world not for the war

pour le monde pas pour la guerre



When you listen for good

in a hope that comes to nothing

cos the liars have moved in

and they believe their own dark medicine

believing that its good

behind their jaded eyes a dilemna



He's the best you've ever had

He's so low, you'll never know
