Chorus
Like the waves of the sea , tossed to and fro
The crest and the trough , the ebb and the flow
And that's just the way this old world goes
And that's the way it always will
1.now there's war , now there's peace , now we're friends now we're foes
Now it's staying in one place , now it's come and it's go
Now it's talking 'bout love , now it's trading the blows
Now it's going at pace , now it's trickling slow
Chorus

2.now we've got lots of money , and now we don't
Now we're buying a new car , now we're keeping the old
Now we're talkiing 'bout keeping the earths air clean
Now we're building new factories and pushing up steam
Chorus
Bridge
And flowers will bloom and flowers will fade
And babies now born one day go to their graves
And we believe the truth , then we believe a lie
And were laughing like mad , then we cannot stop crying
Chorus
