One World Lyrics by John Martyn

Live in Milan 1979

0

Some of us live like princes
Some of us live like queens
Most of us live just like me
We don't know what it means

To take our place in one world
To make our peace in one world
To make our way in one world
To have our say in one world

If you ain't got two words to say
Then I can't talk to you
No use crying, there's been no crime
I say it's just the way the wind blows

Just the name of the game
The way of the world, way of the world
Just the way of the world
Just the way of the world

Cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
Cold and lonely world

Such a cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
Cold and lonely world
It's just a cold and lonely world

One world, like it or not
One world, believe it or not
One world

It's one world, believe it or not
One world, like it or not
It's one world

Some of us live like princes
Some of us live like queens
Most of us live just like me
And we don't know what it means

To take our place in one world
To take our place in one world
To make our loving in one world
Make our way in one world
It's one world, one world, one world
