That's Just How the World Works

No one saw it coming, the time of doom now at hand War is around every corner, no one can help us now Bombs fly and the innocent die That’s just how the world works Try to see the good in the world young child For if you don’t who will If not now then when The fate of the world rests in your hands As one generation fades Another shall rise from the ashes Spread around by war and destruction The fate of the world rests in your hands Heroes will emerge and enemies will be defeated But more enemies will rise And our heroes will fall That’s just how the world works The war will end and allies will part Until another war starts Smoke filled skies will clear up And fallen enemies shall sulk That’s just how the world works
