[Chorus]
One world is enough, for all of us [x2]

[Verse 1]
It's a subject we rarely mention
But when we do we have this little invention
By pretending they're a different world from me
I show my responsibility

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
The third world breathes our air tomorrow
We live on the time we borrow
In our world there's no time for sorrow
In their world there is no tomorrow

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Lines are drawn upon the world
Before we get our flags unfurled
Whichever one we pick
It's just a self deluding trick

[Chorus]
One world is enough, for all of us[x2]

[Verse 4]
I don't want to bring a sour note
Remember this before you vote
We can all sink or we all float
Because we're all in the same big boat

[Chorus x2]

[Outro]
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday[x2]
