There are moments in our lives   When every word is meaningless   What has to happen happens   And someone's directing this, I guess      Moments in our dreams   Where fantasy goes to extremes   We close our eyes and drift away   Nothing's left to say, hey, hey      There are mad dogs in our governments   With dollar bills and guns in hands   Building walls then knock 'em down   First destroy then buy the town      They write the book of history   With lots of blood and misery   Every page is drowned in red   Sleep well in your bed      There are moments in our nights   When we forget the world outside   You'll take my hand and I'll take yours   And then we shut the doors      When you feel alone at night   There's no-one there to hold you tight   Call me up, switch off the light   And I'll help you through the night      I'll give you everything I've got   It's not much believe me but   I'm just a little wheel   In this machinery of steel      Ooh, when God goes home   The world sleeps alone
