G         C                 G
We got trouble, that's for sure
        C             G
We got millions unemployed
                  C
Some kids can't write
                 G
Some kids can't read
               C
Some kids are hungry

          G
Some overeat

Our TV leader boldly speaks
The words of Christ he tries to preach
We need more power to hold the line
The strength of darkness still abides

Chorus:
             C   G
    Must be hell
     C
    Living in the world
                              G
    Living in the world like you

             C   G
    Must be hell
     C
    Living in the world
                                 G
    Suffering in the world like you

Keep in a straight line, stay in tune
No need to worry, only fools
End up in prison of conscience cells
Or in asylums they help to build

Chorus:
    Must be hell living in the world
    Suffering in the world like you

    Must be hell living in the world
    Suffering in the world like you

    Must be hell
    Suffering in the world like you

We're free to worship, we're free to speak
We're free to kill, that's guaranteed
We've got our problems, that's for sure
Clean up the backyard, don't lock the door

Chorus:
    Must be hell living in the world
    Suffering in the world like you
    Must be hell living in the world
    Suffering in the world like you

I say we are heaven bound
I say we are heaven bound
I say we are heaven bound
I say we are heaven bound
I say we are heaven bound
I say we are heaven bound
I say we are heaven bound
I say we are heaven bound
I say we are heaven bound
