[Lyric] Western World (Michael Gleason)

They're turning out another victim of the current
Swept away into the social scene
A new addition to the modern human family

An easy target for the prophets of the new age
Lying neutral and conviction free
An open manual, intellectual diplomacy

How long have we listened to the lies
While the seer and the sage pretend
How long till we see with open eyes
And beat us to a bitter end

Living every dream of the western world
Carried in the stream of the western world
Yeah we'll be captured by the theme of the western world

They fantasize about the wealth of their potential
And sing the praises to the self made man
And others step into the evolutionary plan
You will levitate your logic to conclusion
It's much too easy to believe what they say
We buy it all with no idea of the price we'll pay

How long have we listened to the lies
While the seer and the sage pretend
How long till we see with open eyes
And beat us to a bitter end

Living every dream of the western world
Carried in the stream of the western world
Yeah we'll be captured by the theme of the western world

They're turning o'er another victim of the current
Like a drop into the raging sea
He'll find his future in the land of opportunity

How long have we listened to the lies
While the seer and the sage pretend
How long till we see with open eyes
And beat us to a bitter end

Looking for the dream of the western world
Drowning in the stream of the western world
Carried by the theme of the western world
Looking for the dream of the western world
Living every dream
Carried by the stream
Captured by the theme
We'll be living every dream of the western world
