  • Would Dylan be just a poet?
    Would Bono ever know it without those songs?
    Hm
    Would Marley be just a stoner?
    Johnny Cash just be a loner without those songs?
    Hm
    Would Buddy Holly have disappeared?
    Or would Lennon still be here without those songs?
    Yeah yeah

    What happened in their lives?
    What happened in their hearts?
    To make them want to write the words
    Gonna tear this world apart
    The beauty of their lives
    Is when they're dead and gone
    The world still sings along
    When anything went right
    When anything went wrong
    They put it in a song

    Would Elvis be just a look
    Or the Rolling Stones be stuck without those songs?
    Hm
    Would Sinatra be just a gangster
    Or would Jackson be just a dancer without those songs?
    Yeah
    Would Madonna be just a face?
    Or Nirvana be just a place without those songs?
    Yeah

    What happened in their lives?
    What happened in their hearts?
    To make them want to write the words
    Gonna tear this world apart
    The beauty of their lives
    Is when they're dead and gone
    The world still sings along
    When anything went right
    When anything went wrong
    They put it in a song, yeah

    Ooh
    Ooh

    When anything went right
    When anything went wrong
    They put it in a song
    Oh who would make us sing
    And where would we all be without those songs
