All the world's

A masquerade

Made up of fools

And philosophers

Were it to rain

On our charade,

All washes away,

Except for our true colors

If any people bothered

Looking for truth, please,

Stop the world

From spinning 'round

Instead we choose to follow

Footsteps of fools, please

Stop the world

From spinning 'round

If nothing's new under the sun

For me and you

Won't somebody please...

Stop the world

Stop the world

I wanna get off

Stop the world

Stop the world

Where there is love

If we forget

Yesterday,

We're bound to repeat it

Tomorrow

It's not too late

To start today,

Better off safe,

Than sorry

Do unto those as you would

Do to yourselves, please,

Stop the world

From spinning 'round

We need more feet to walk

In one another's shoes, please

Stop the world

From spinning 'round

There's nothing new

Under the sun

For me and you,

Won't somebody please...
