	Story Behind the Song Origianlly this was a sort of light-hearted dig at protest songs, but as the content became more serious, the song became the archetypal protest song about the shortcomings of the Wrold today. It lust have taken a few days to write the lyrics, it was written in UK, in London. The recording was in a small studio in Kuala Lumpur and some overdubs were added in London Lyrics 6. Better World I wanna make a statement I wanna make it strong I wanna tell everybody That war is wrong Why can't us humans Live in peace with each other Doesn't matter what colour or creed We're all sisters and brothers I wanna live in a better world (x4) It seems a fact that in this world There's more than enough to share So I want to say emphatically That it just asint fair When some people live in mansion And own three or four BMWs While others they go hungry Don't even have a pair of shoes I wanna live in a better world (x4) I wanna make a little point To the people up there in power That life on Earth is being destroyed Hour by hour 'Cause it gets so frustrating When there's nothing you can do You wanna tell these guys the truth But you can't get the message through I wanna live in a better world (x4) Human stupidity is driving me insane Every time I pick up the paper I read about it again and again I wanna say how important it is For us to open our hearts Just listen to the other fellow It's a place to start I'm not saying I'm any better Than those I criticise But if we could be intelligent Then we could be civilised Then we could live in a better world Yeah we could live in a better world Oh we could live in a better world, Yeah we could live in a better world by Peter Brown c.
