I scanned the menu options
I did not have a choice
I'd like to teach the world to sing
But I do not have a voice
So I bought myself a ticket
To the happening of the year
The sky lit up with colours
The crowd let out a cheer
It's just a sunset
Someone said
Something that happens every day
Yes it's a sunset
Someone said
But now they've found a way to make it pay
I like to look at pretty things
I like to feast my eyes
I went to see the Northern Lights
But they were pale and weak
And not as advertised
So now I'm learning about money
And I'm learning about law
The first rule of economics?
Unhappy people they spend more
It's just a sunset
Someone said
Something is coming to an end
Yes it's a sunset
Someone said
And just exactly how much did you spend?
Oh I'd like to teach the world to sing
But I do not have a voice
And I'd like to buy the world some time
Some time and a choice
Yes I'd like to teach the world to sing
But I I do not have a voice
And I'd like to buy the world some time
Some time
Some time
And a choice
