World In Action Lyrics - Singles - Toyah

Where will you go, when the sirens blow? 

Will you run helter-skelter, in search of a shelter 

Or will you lie low? 

Will you sit there clutching at your lucky charm 

Or pray to your god to keep you from harm? 

Maybe you'll believe it's just another false alarm 

There's a world in action all around us 

World in action for all to see 

You'd better hide behind your religion 

Is there a future for you or for me? 

The devil's broken out, he's breaking deals 

Disregard law and order, and head for the border 

To hide in them hills 

Will you sit there clutching at the final straw 

Hoping that your ticket's in the final draw 

If you read between the lines you'll discover there's a fatal flaw 

There's a world in action all around us 

World in action for all to see 

You'd better hide behind your religion 

Is there a future, is there a future? 

World in action, world in action 

And the leaders in the backroom are counting up the toll 

It's defend or attack, no turning back 

'Till it's out of control 

Will you turn away and wash your hands 

Or stand there shaking with your head in the sands? 

Or leave it to the people who pretend they understand 

There's a world in action all around us 

World in action for all to see 

You'd better hide behind your religion 

Is there a future for you or for me? 

World in action all around us 

World in action for all to see 

You'd better hide behind your religion 

Is there a future, is there a future? 

World in action all around us 

World in action for all to see 

You'd better hide behind your religion 

Is there a future for you or for me? 

World in action
