Hang out the flags a new world order's on the way

Start singing now a song to greet the joyful day
G/A  F7M
       Just when we thought the time was right for celebrating
Dm7/9
  With music of the spheres
F7M
  What's this - another boat of fleeing refugees on
Dm7/9
  A sea of children's tears

G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth
G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth

We're only men and women doing what we can

  Another orphan baby in failed uprising
Dm7/9
  Another real bum note

  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth

C7M           Dm7
  And if you're listening up there
C7M          Dm7
  You could consider this a prayer

G/A  F7M
       Well who am I to tell you how to run your business
Dm7/9
  Man, you could strike me blind
F7M
  What kind of noise we gotta make down here before we
Dm7/9
  Destroy your peace of mind

G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth
G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
