Has The Whole World Come Undone?

from Things We Should've Said by Abi Moore

/

lyrics

When all of our heroes are junkies and our music is practically porn,
When politicians are glorified flunkies- who will stand up for us all?
Celebrities sell their own babies to the highest- bidding magazines
And all of the fashionable ladies diet into size zero jeans
I’m speaking out for the children I’ve not yet conceived
And where will they learn their values- from the world or me?

Has the whole world come undone?
Has the whole world come undone?
Has the whole world come undone tonight?

Why does my bank always tell me that my savings will come to no harm
When they’re responsible for the production of thousands of foreign arms?
We hear of injustice daily in a country that nobody knows
‘Cause all of our stations are playing the same old reality shows
We’d rather vote for the cabaret star of the year
Than vote for a leader to free our country of fear

Has the whole world come undone?
Has the whole world come undone?
Has the whole world come undone tonight?

Look at the scientists cloning humans- they can surely invent a new fuel?
But where is the oil baron’s profit in energy renewal?
Look at the planet’s percentage of water – why do people die from thirst?
And all the junk that we eat over Christmas could feed the whole damn earth
How can I fight this when no one is on my side?
When they are called upon, they choose to run and hide

Has the whole world come undone?
Has the whole world come undone?
Has the whole world come undone tonight?

So are we all done asking questions? Have we finished demanding the truth?
And is caring for our generation just something we used to do?
Humans have so many rights now we don’t know what constitutes wrong
Conversation becomes compensation if we can pass all the blame along
Our children are learning to live and to die by the knife
But this ain’t no video game, now they kill in real life

Has the whole world come undone?
Has the whole world come undone?
Has the whole world come undone tonight?

Abi Moore UK

Americana / Roots-Rock artist from Nottingham. Abi's 4th studio album No More Chasing marks a raucous return after 10 years.

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM
