HALF THE WORLD
Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
Half the world hates
What half the world does every day
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway
Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Half the world is
Half the world was
Half the world thinks
While the other half does
Half the world talks
With half a mind on what they say
Half the world walks
With half a mind to run away
Half the world lies
Half the world learns
Half the world flies
As half the world turns
Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries
To be the other half
Half of us divided Like a torn-up photograph Half of us are
trying To reach the other half
Half the world cares
While half the world is wasting the day
While half the world is stealing away
