Land of Confusion – Disturbed(Originally by Genesis)
==
– Video Synopsis –
The video starts out with The Guy, Disturbed’s mascot, falling to earth. It then shows military forces sporting a dollar sign within a circle of white that is within a field of red, followed by legions of black-clad soldiers reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s Schutzstaffel (Protection Squad), belonging to different countries. The video then shows The Guy, escaping bondage from chains, as the military forces continue to assault cities. Later on, leaders of various nations of the world are shown sitting at a table with the same dollar sign on it. Eventually The Guy confronts some soldiers, who sport patches with the dollar sign symbol, and stirs the people around the world to revolt and kill the soldiers, and then flags of various nations of the world are shown, with the final flag sporting the dollar sign. The Guy then leads the rebels to the United Nations Headquarters where they beat up the U.N. representatives and finally the overweight businessman who, when destroyed by The Guy, explodes into dollar bills.==
– Lyric –
I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They’re moving into the streetNow, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire’s still alight
They’re burning into the nightThere’s too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there’s not much love to go around
Can’t you see this is a land of confusion?This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living inOh, superman, where are you now?
When everything’s gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hourThis is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there’s not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusionThis is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living inI remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight
So long agoI won’t be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We’re not just making promises
That we know we’ll never keepThere’s too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there’s not much love to go round
Can’t you see this is a land of confusion?Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth fighting forThis is the world we live in
And these are the names we’re given
Stand up and let’s start showing
Just where our lives are going to
