The World We Live In Lyrics

This is world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in

Well maybe I was mistaken
I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age
Well maybe I was mistaken

Bless your body, bless your soul
Pray for peace and self control

I gotta believe it's worth it
Without a victory,
I'm so sanctified and free
Well maybe I'm just mistaken

Lesson learned and the wheels keep turning

This is the world that we live in
I can't take blame for two
This is the world that we live in
And maybe we'll make it through

Bless your body, bless your soul
Reel me in and cut my throat

Underneath the waterfall
Baby we're still in this boat

This is the world that we live in
Feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in

I had a dream that I was falling, down
There's no next time, alone
A storm wastes its water on me
But my life was free

I guess it's the world that we live in
It's not too late for that
This is the world that we live in
And no, we can't go back

This is the world that we live in
We still want something real
This is the world that we live in
I know that we can heal over time

This is the world that we live in

This is in regards to Vivalavida's comment "This isn't the killers we know of This isn't the "this river is wild " Killers this isn't the mr brightside killers I beg The killers to come back strong with their next album."

You're right. It's not "This River Is Wild" or "Mr. Brightside". But really, have you even heard anything else they've done? If you follow The Killers and truly love them as a band, as do I, then you will love this album in its entirety for being something that has set The Killers above the rest of mainstream rock. Every song they have done is something different than you've ever heard from any other rock band. But they still rock. And you want to know why? They're innovative unlike, dare I say it, Coldplay whose albums tend to run together. Every album The Killers have done has a different feel to it.

If you actually listened to their songs other than their radio singles, you would see that this song, as well as this whole album, is The Killers. It is just as much of who they are as the rest of their albums.

Coldplay are SO BORING. All of their songs sound exactly the same, apart from Yellow and Viva la Vida, its all crap. The Killers are amazing because they're different and not repetitive! I completely agree with you!

Hey! Both The Killers and Coldplay are excellent bands! And if you look into Coldplay (beyond the singles) you'll see they're are not as repetitive as they seem. This is comming from someone who used to dislike Coldplay.

And why are going around saying that Vivalavida hasn't heard any other Killers songs besides This River is Wild. Ovbiously he/she has. This River is wild isn't one of their famous songs, so if she/he only knew one or two, it wouldn't be This River Is Wild. Second, she/he would barely be able to tell the difference in between the first two...

Instead of "I know that we can YIELD over time" I think it is "I know that we can HEAL over time"...

But English is not my native language... But it'd make a lot more of sense.

For me, at least.

Another awesome song by the Killers. :)

Personally, I love this song! It reminds me a lot of a song Paul McCartney would write.

Also, who cares if albums don't sound the same? Bands have the right to change their sound or go where they feel is creatively right for their band. I don't know about you, but if artists released the same sort of album three or four times I would definitely get bored and stop listening. I have been listening to The Killers from the beginning (and I'm not talking about just listening to singles on the radio). I really admire a band that can take a different direction and still produce an incredible album.

Changing their sound is a good thing! We won't get bored of them!

I love this song. I think it's the best on the new album. I came to check out the lyrics and I'm surprised that people would prefer The River is Wild over this song. The River is Wild is horrible. This album is so much more solid that Sams Town. After Sams Town I decided to give up on The Killers, but I'm lucky I came across this album used. Album is great. This song is amazing.

This river is wild is an awesome song. This song, however, is not particularly oustanding and may be the weakest on the album. Spaceman, Neon Tiger, I Can't Stay and Dustland Fairytale (to name a few) are easily better.

this river is wild is amazing

It's THIS River is Wild. Just fyi.

Ok to everyone who said we can't admit our favourite band made a mistake... I can. With Sawdust,Not my favourite album,not half as good. Yes,Day and Age is different but every album of theirs has been. Sam's Town is my fave probably followed by Hot Fuss or Day and Age and then Battle Born. Sawdust was a mistake. Not Day And Age

I liked Sawdust!
