  • I scanned the menu options
    I did not have a choice
    I'd like to teach the world to sing
    But I do not have a voice

    So I bought myself a ticket
    To the happening of the year
    The sky lit up with colors
    The crowd let out a cheer

    It's just a sunset
    Someone said
    Something that happens every day
    Yes, it's a sunset
    Someone said
    But now they've found a way to make it pay

    I like to look at pretty things
    I like to feast my eyes
    Went to see the Northern Lights
    But they were pale and weak
    And not as advertised

    So now, I'm learning about money
    And I'm learning about law
    The first rule of economics?
    Unhappy people, they spend more

    It's just a sunset
    Someone said
    Something is coming to an end
    Yes, it's a sunset
    Someone said
    And just exactly how much, did you spend?

    Oh, I'd like to teach the world to sing
    But I do not have a voice
    And I'd like to buy the world some time
    Some time and a choice
    Yes, I'd like to teach the world to sing
    But I, I do not have a voice
    And I'd like to buy the world some time
    Some time
    Some time
    And a choice Writer/s: Andrew McKinney, CANDIDA DOYLE, Emma Smith, JARVIS COCKER, JASON BUCKLE, MARK WEBBER, NICK BANKS, RICHARD HAWLEY, ROGER COOK, ROGER GREENAWAY, ROQUEL DAVIS, The Earth, WILLIAM BACKER
