Depeche Mode
Let's take a map of the world
Tear it into pieces
All of the boys and the girls
Will see how easy it is
To put it all down
And start again
From the top to the bottom and then
I'll have faith
Oh, I prefer
To think that things
Could have turned out worse
All that we need at the start
Universal revolution
And if we trust in our hearts
We'll find the solutions
To put it all down
And start again
From the top to the bottom and then
I'll have faith
Oh, I prefer
To think that things
Could have turned out worse
I took a plane across the world
(You can't take a car)
And when I reached my destination
I hadn't gone far
Let's take a hold of the world
The mountains and the sand
Let all the boys and the girls
Shape it in their hands
To put it all down
And start again
From the top to the bottom and then
I'll have faith
Oh, I prefer
To think that things
Could have turned out worse
"The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts"
