if you're scared on the streets   tonight   looking for a place to hide   this is greenwhich mean time   too many people in washington   playing power games they love to play   they're all on greenwhich mean time   it's a world i don't want to know   bowing how low can you go?   hear about the people's problems   they don't want to know   and the businessman in london   and the new york stock exchange   they're all on greenwhich mean time   corporate pollution and greed   in the driver's seat   keeping greenwhich mean time   it's a world i don't want to know   kill each other chasing gold   hear about the world's problems   they don't want to know   i think no matter what time it is   from tokyo to peru   they're on greenwhich mean time   how's the world going to improve   when the dollar continues to rule   and it's always greenwhich mean time   it's a world i don't want to know   kill each other chasing gold   hear about the world's problems   they don't want to know -- and for   every artist out there, there's a   hundred want to be a cop!
