Shattered dreams, lying across all these streets that were once paved with gold
What have they done, nothing is left here but memories of a once splendid land
You're out on your own, so far from home
You fought for the cause, you never believed, it's all down to you

Fallen hopes, the home that you fought to defend has been broken apart
Where can you go, it cuts like a knife as you realise this is the end
You're out on your own, so far from home
What can you do, now that you see, this ain't the land of the free

Is this the dream? Is this the brave new world?
Why can't they see it's all just falling down!
Nothing is left, nothing worth fighting for
Is this the brave new world?

Oh, can't they see that they tore us apart when they sent us away

Oh, can't they see that this land will never be the same

SOLO

This is the place of my birth, the place I call home
What have they done, why can't they see I can never return

Is this the dream? Is this the brave new world?
Why can't they see it's all just falling down!
Nothing is left, nothing worth fighting for
Is this the brave new world?

Is this the dream? Is this the brave new world?
Why can't they see it's all just falling down!
Nothing is left, nothing worth fighting for
Is this the dream? Is this the brave new world?
