Testo Stop the World - 1927

Stop the World

I can’t think of a time
When we all were satisfied
And everything was easy
There’s no need to contest what is mine
Or who is best
Still, we find a reason
Don’t stop the world
Don’t stop the world for me, no
I couldn’t make it work
I couldn’t make it work
Without you
There’s so much blood on the ground
On our hands, flowing out
But the wounds are healing
Dear God!
What have we done?
Did we forget we are «one»?
How did we fail to see it?
Don’t stop the world
Don’t stop the world, please, no
I couldn’t make it work
I couldn’t make it work
Without you
Don’t stop the world for me
Don’t stop the world…
Don’t stop the world
Don’t stop the world for me, no
I couldn’t make it work
Don’t stop the world
Don’t stop the world for me
