Lyrics
riots in the middle-east, from tunis to tehran
drought & plague in africa - djibouti & sudan
protests making headlines all around the world
while leaders tackle massive debt stock markets in a whirl
wars between the north & south / between the rich & poor
children going hungry with the wolves around the door
while oil barons & bankers, get richer every day
& drug lords make a killing down in Monterrey
from Monday to Sunday we all wanna know
from Monday to Sunday the world puts on a show
from Monday to Sunday every night & day
from Monday to Sunday the world comes out to play
natural disasters every day or so it seems
pakistan bangkok japan & even new orleans
floods & ash & earthquakes landslides & hurricanes
no-one's safe on city streets or even country lanes
a baby born in india it was just a normal birth
but 7 billion people's like a plague upon this earth
a drain upon resources so the experts say
we don't count in years no more we only count in days
from Monday to Sunday we all wanna know
from Monday to Sunday the world puts on a show
from Monday to Sunday every night & day
from Monday to Sunday the world comes out to play
