Seen the troubles and the evils of this world I've seen the stretches between godliness and sin I've heard the promise and confessions of good faith And the hypocrisy that always lies within And they left it for you, all of this for you I've seen the products and the other world of waste I've seen the colour of corruption deep within I've seen them lose themselves in dignity and taste To see in black and white and through to black again And they left it for you, all of this for you And they left it for you, all of this for you And they left it for you, everything for you I've seen the troubles and the evils of this world I've seen the ones who could succeed but always lose I've seen what's left of poor technology and worth And watched them dying as they leave their ship of fools And they left it for you, all of this for you
