Lead Vocals:Dave Sharp
Lyrics
:
People are saying money's falling off the trees But I don't see nobody here with a piece Nobody got it, everybody want it Even people out there begging on the streets From Red Square right down to the sea Step down off the side-walk and you might see Something going on make a poor heart bleed Sounds like a new age world stampede God save somebody God save somebody Well all through the land Everybody lend a hand God Save somebody Broke walls, people digging through Skidding on the tarmac, tripping on the view Halfway useful Wholeway hopeful Soaking their hearts in a vision of food Welcome west to the world excess Bet you halfway through some will settle for less With a big break sleeping rough at night On a stone floor like freezed ice God save somebody God save somebody Well all through the land Everybody lend a hand God Save somebody Well whole place looks like a war's going on Flash floods and fire bombs A whole bunch of folk who say it ain't so But they're from a place nobody goes Shell shock and big decay No policies made gonna take that away Bells ringing out right now for the day They're even trying to tear down God�s Highway God save somebody You better save somebody Well all through the land Everybody lend a hand God Save somebody God save somebody God save somebody Well all through the land Everybody lend a hand God save somebody (God save somebody) God save somebody (God save somebody) They're even trying to tear down God�s Highway You better save somebody (God save somebody) Well the bells ringing out right now for the day You better save somebody (God save somebody) Save somebody (God save somebody) You better save somebody (God save somebody) Well it sounds like a funeral You better save somebody

Mike Peters Notes
:I remember Dave Sharp playing this to me outside Twist’s house. It was a bright summers morning and the lyrics rang so clear and true. I personally think this is Dave’s best contribution to The Alarm so far and judging by the fans reaction to this song at the ‘Greenbelt’ show I’m sure a lot of you will agree.
