Tears Of The World Lyrics by George Harrison

\"Tears Of The World\"

War mongers terrorize us all,
Our leaders heed us to their call.
Stonewallin, voices calling,
Drowning in the tears of the world.

Big business calling ev\'ry tune,
Polluting here and to the moon.
All nations, conservations,
Drowning in the tears of the world.

But your lives worth saving,
We should start behaving
Like the truth\'s been told by saviours through our time.
Your downfall, you\'ll bring it on yourselves.

All warnings fall upon deaf ears,
Their scorn compounding my worst fears.
No way out, hopeless souls shout,
Drowning in the tears of the world.

(Drowning in the tears of the world)
Tears of the world.

Where\'s your love been sleeping?
Has your heart been weeping
Over all unrighteous action in the world
Where bad jazz seems all they\'re laying down?

No use in turning your blind eye,
You feel the heat as you fry.
Try your best, you\'ll find no rest,
Drowning in the tears of the world.

It\'s a sure bet, each pays his debts,
Drowning in the tears of the world.

Note:
1981 / WB having rejected his new album \"Somewhere In England\",
Harrison, back at the ol\' drawing board, once again found himself in the recording studio
re-touching & composing 4 new songs to replace the 4 pulled from the album,
This was one of the songs pulled & along with the other 3 - can be found on:

1.George Harrison \"Pirate Songs\"
2.George Harrison \"Completed Rarities Vol. 1
3.George Harrison \"Somewhere In England\" ( original version and track list w/ bonus tracks )

All which I won on eBay years ago but may now be available in some stores.
Can also be heard on \"Youtube\"
