This World Lyrics - Caedmon's Call - Caedmons Call

There's tarnish on the golden rule 

And I want to jump from this ship of fools 

Show me a place where hope is young 

And people who are not afraid to love 

This world has nothing for me 

And this world has everything 

All that I could want 

And nothing that I need 

This world is making me drunk 

On the spirits of fear 

So when he says who will go 

I am nowhere near 

This world has nothing for me 

And this world has everything 

All that I could want 

And nothing that I need 

And the least of these look like criminals to me 

So I leave Christ on the street 

This world has held my hand 

And has led me into intolerance 

And now I'm waking up 

And now I'm breaking up 

But now I'm making up 

For lost time 

This world has nothing for me 

And this world has everything 

All that I could want 

And nothing that I need 

This world has nothing for me 

And this world has everything 

All that I could want 

And nothing that I need
