"New World" lyrics - STEVE LUKATHER

I woke up on a sidewalk
In a dream where no one heard a single word I screamed
It was somewhere in the future
This is not the perfect world that I thought it would be

I wandered by the White House
All the weeds and broken bottles scattered everywhere
All the greed and bad intentions
Our refusal to prevent them - I just stood and stared

Empty highways, flooded towns
Is it way too late to turn it all around?

Take your soul and throw it away
You won't need it in the new world
Where there's no one left to save
We gotta take our stand, it's judgement day
If we ignore the final warning
It's a new world
We gotta pay for our history

I woke up feeling shitty
Drank a half a pot of coffee just to clear my head
As I read the morning paper
I'm not feeling any safer after what I just read

Empty highways, flooded towns
Is it way too late to turn it all around?

Follow me now to higher ground
If we wait any longer then this world will tumble down
Those who were lost soon will be found
It's our destiny

Take your soul and throw it away
You won't need it in the new world
Where there's no one left to save
We gotta take our stand, it's judgement day
If we ignore the final warning
(If we ignore the final warning)
