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
