Artist/Band: Genesis
Lyrics for Song: Land Of Confusion
Lyrics for Album: Genesis Live 1973-2007 (11 Discs) [2009]



I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

Been haunted by a million screams

But I can hear the marching feet

They're moving into the street



Now did you read the news today

They say the danger's gone away

But I can see the fire's still alight

They're burning into the night



*There's too many men, too many people

Making too many problems

*And not much love to go around

Can't you see this is the land of confusion



This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth living in



Oh Superman where are you now

Everything's gone wrong somehow

The men of steel, men of power

Are losing control by the hour



This is the time, this is the place

So we look for the future

*But there's not much love to go around

Tell me why this is the land of confusion



*This is the world we live in

*And these are the hands we're given

*Use them and let's start trying

*To make it a place worth living in



I remember long ago

Oh when the sun was shining

And the stars were bright all through the night

And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight

So long ago



I won't be coming home tonight

My generation will put it right

We're not just making promises

That we know we'll never keep



*Too many men, there's too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Can't you see this is the land of confusion



This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth fighting for



This is the world we live in

And these are the names we're given

Stand up and let's start showing

Just where our lives are going to


Land Of Confusion

Genesis' "Land Of Confusion" stands as a defining track from their 1973 era, showcasing the band's transition from progressive rock to a more polished, radio-friendly sound. Recorded for the "Genesis Live 1973-2007" compilation, this recording captures the group's signature blend of intricate instrumentation and melodic sensibilities that would characterize their subsequent success. The song exemplifies the era's focus on complex time signatures and atmospheric textures, while maintaining an accessible structure that allowed it to become a staple of their live performances. As part of Peter Gabriel's early tenure with the band, the track reflects the collaborative spirit and musical ambition that propelled Genesis to international prominence, cementing their legacy in the progressive rock canon.
