all the world's a masquerade

made up of fools and philsophers

would to it rain on our charade

washes away except the true colors

if any people bother looking for truth please

(stop the world from spinning 'round)

instead we chose to follow the footsteps of fools please

(stop the world from spinning 'round)

if nothing's new under the sun for me and you

whoa somebody please

stop the world, stop the world, i wanna get off

stop the world, stop the world, i wanna get off

if we forget yesterday, 'bout to appear tomorrow

its not too late to start today better off safe than sorry

do unto those is you would do to yourself please

(stop the world from spinning 'round)

we need more free to walk in one another's shoes please

(stop the world from spinning 'round)

there's nothing new under the sun for me and you

whoa somebody please

stop the world, stop the world, i wanna get off

stop the world, stop the world, where there is love

(where there is love)

::guitar solo::

STOP!

the world, stop the world, i wanna get off

stop the world, stop the world, i wanna get off

(you gotta stop it, you gotta stop it)

stop the world, stop the world, i wanna get off

stop the world, stop the world, where there is love

stop the world, stop the world

All the world's a masquerade made up of fools.....
