Europhoria - World Problems

Eurovision 2018
This one goes out to you
Vote for the music

Once upon a time many moons ago
I used to be concerned with looking good with my bros
I'd go out to the shops and spend every single penny
See a beggar on the street and I wouldn't give him any

Since then I've been around the land
Meeting lots of different people shaking lots of different hands
Doesn't even matter if you're brown, black or white
We're from one set of people so then why do we fight?

It really isn't funny, we're running out of money
There's people in the street with a pain inside their tummy
People being scared by a spider over there
But they can't afford a cup to move the spider from his lair

These are just my thoughts
I've seen an awful lot
We need to make a change
And find out what we forgot

Peace, love, caring and empathy
These are just the changes that are happening to me

Oh we can make a change
We stand together
We'll make the difference
And be strong forever
This time we'll think carefully
Spend money on ourself more sparingly
It's time to lend a hand
Spread love and understanding all across the land

I used to sing about having girl problems
But there's more important things man
We've got world problems

Seeing adverts on the train for a holiday to Paris
But it cost me loads of money for a ticket on this carriage
It really isn't fair when you make poverty a policy
How about you write a cheque and fix my inequality

Mars bars are shrinking and Revels lighter too
What's happened to this land I know it's turning into poo
Damn I've lost my focus I've got it all wrong
It's for the people in the street why I've been singing this song

Oh we can make a change
We stand together
We'll make the difference
And be strong forever
This time we'll think carefully
Spend money on ourself more sparingly
It's time to lend a hand
Spread love and understanding all across the land

Oh we can make a change
We stand together
We'll make the difference
And be strong forever
This time we'll think carefully
Spend money on ourselves more sparingly
It's time to lend a hand
Spread love and understanding all across the land
