Underneath it all, I can mainly sense your anger
Your resentment of all those rules and regulations
Back against the wall, feeling so hard done by
Lashing out, and craving stimulation
Hungry for the fun you think you're missing out on
All those empty games of vanity and pride
Making war on the world - try to take by storm its secret
But every step you take, you're aching more inside
'Cause that world is empty, and fun isn't fun
When you're on the run from your own mind
Yeah, the world is empty, when you live for yourself
And for nobody else, you only find
Despair is everywhere and Love just can't be found,
'Cause your world is empty
I hope and pray that you'll see, before you drown in sorrow
That the only way to happiness is Love
And Love means don't take but just give, open up, let go of anger
And resentment, with its bitter velvet glove
Yes, glamour is the veil of despair, and if you're there, your pride can trap you
You might learn the hard way, but why take that risk?
Take the chains from your heart, and goodness grows within you
Don't regret the frivolity you've missed
'Cause that world is empty, and fun isn't fun
When you're on the run from your own mind
Yeah, the world is empty, when you live for yourself
And for nobody else, you only find
Despair is everywhere and Love just can't be found,
'Cause your world is empty
