Lyrics:

Half the world hates
What half the world does everyday
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway

Half the world Lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Half the world is
Half the world was
Half the world thinks
While the other half does

Half the world talks
With half the mind on what they say
Half the world walks
with half a mind to run away

Half the world lies
Half the world learns
Half the world flies
As half the world turns
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries to be the other half

Half of us divided
Like a torn-up photograph, A torn-up photograph
Half of us are trying
To reach the other half
To reach the other half

Half the world cares
While half the world is wasting the day
Half the world shares
While half the world is stealing away

Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries to be the other half

To be the other half
