There's tarnish on the golden rule   And I want to jump from this ship of fools   Show me a place where hope is young   And people who are not afraid to love      This world has nothing for me   And this world has everything   All that I could want   And nothing that I need      This world is making me drunk   On the spirits of fear   So when he says who will go   I am nowhere near      This world has nothing for me   And this world has everything   All that I could want   And nothing that I need   And the least of these look like criminals to me   So I leave Christ on the street      This world has held my hand   And has led me into intolerance      And now I'm waking up   And now I'm breaking up   But now I'm making up   For lost time      This world has nothing for me   And this world has everything   All that I could want   And nothing that I need      This world has nothing for me   And this world has everything   All that I could want   And nothing that I need
