The World Is Black Lyrics

	


turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it's just a different day and
No one really knows why this is happening
But it's happening
And everywhere you go it's just a different place
You get the same dark feeling
See the same sad faces
No one really cares that this is happening

We come into this world
And we all are the same
In that moment there's no one to blame

But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we say, say

Living in this place it's always been this way
There's no one doing nothing so there's nothing changed
And I can't live when this world just keeps dying
It's dying
People always tell me this is part of the plan
That God's got everybody in his hands
But I can only pray that God is listening
Is he listening?

We're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I say

But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we say, say, say

We come into this world
And we all are the same
And in that moment there's no one to blame
But we're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I say

The world is black
And hearts are cold
There's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
(We can't go back)
It won't be the same
(It won't be the same)
Forever changed
(What will ever change)
By the things we say, say, say

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it's just a different day
And no one really knows why this is happening

this song is about how the world is getting worse and worse everyday, but no-one really taking notice of what is actually going on. Also the chorus is just awesome!!

Reminds me of Simple Plan's "Crazy" ... even though they are completely different. I see them as wake up calls, telling people to see the world for what it is, and to not look through rose-coloured glasses.

lmao. This song hardly needs explanation, but it's about the world being so fucked up and just getting moreso every day.

dementia, why are you even in the GC section of this site if you hate them so much? I agree, this song is about how the world is so fucked up and just basically sucks.

You are all right, but you are all wrong as well. yes the song denotes that the world is "...about how the world is so fucked up and just basically sucks." But it is also about how the world is just depressing. Have you turned on the news lately? Everyone is dying, or shooting, fighting and hating one another. It's just so depressing.
