Katzenjammer

Songwriter: Genesis

[Verse 1]
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear their marching feet
Moving into the street

Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
Well, I can see the fire's still alight
Burning into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
Too many men, too many people
Giving too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

[Chorus]
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make this a place worth living in

[Verse 2]
Ooh, Superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
There's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion

[Chorus] x2

Make it a place...
Yeah, yeah

[Outro]
This is the world we live in
Oh, I remember long ago
This is the world we live in
Oh, I remember long ago
This is the world we live in
Oh, the sun was shining

Katzenjammer is a four-piece all-female band from Oslo, Norway, formed in 2005. The members of the band Anne Marit Bergheim, Solveig Heilo, Turid Jørgensen Honerud, and Marianne Sveen. Their style is hard to define in just a few words, but their music combines elements of folk, pop, rock, blues, country, and probably a few other genres. They are all Norwegian; however, most of their lyrics are in English. They also play a bunch of unusual instruments that they keep swapping among themselves while performing on stage. They don’t have one lead singer—instead, they simply take turns singing the lead on different songs. The band’s name was inspired by the old American comic strip The Katzenjammer Kids, and it is pronounced [ˈkætsənˌdʒæmər] in English and [ˈkaʦənˈjamɐ] in German.
