LYRICS:

What is wrong with man
Destroying the land
Our planet is full of waste
Sheltering ozone layers
Is no more a shield
The temperature is rising up

Now it's time to stop this madness
Preventing increasing sadness
Let's put end to all this while we can

Man against another man
How somebody can
Judge by colour of the skin
See the signs make up your own mind
Now it's time for the change
It's not too late

Now it's time to stop this madness
Preventing increasing sadness
Let's put end to all this while we can

Save us
We are the future
Lead us
Into the better world now
Show us
The way to  reality
No more injustice or cruelty
Save us
We are the future
Lead us
Into the better world now
Show us
The way to reality injustice is all gone

Fast, fast stop this course now
Last, last or we won't last
Past stop living in the past
Or you will die

End, end end of our time
Time out percious time
Crime, crime against mankind
We have to pay

In the course of mad destruction
There'll be no coming back
The nuclear end is in sight
Soon there will be one 
To fight with
Take a look into the sky
It may be your last time
The complete end is in sight
Soon there will be no one
To fight with me

Save us
We are the future
Lead us
Into the better world now
Show us
The way to reality
No more injustice or cruelty
Save us
We are the future
Lead us
Into the better world now
Show us
The way to reality injustice is all gone
Is now all
