Somebodys Child Albert Hammond

[Verse 1]
Chaos parades the city streets
Permanent carnival
Mothers protect their families
Inside apartment walls
Electric heaven is looking down
There's no one wearing a thorny crown

[Chorus]
In the new world, life is cheap
In the new world, lies are deep
In the new world, people forget
When the bullets are flying wild
Everybody's somebody's child
Everybody's somebody's child

[Verse 2]
Floodwaters climb the burning shore
The movie star wrings her hands
Sitting aboard her private yacht
Sailing away from land
At the poker table they serve champagne
There ain't no shelter now from the rain

[Chorus]
In the new world, life is cheap
In the new world, lies are deep
In the new world, people forget
When the bullets are flying wild
Everybody's somebody's child
Everybody's somebody's child
