Bring The World Back
American Angel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the world is looking for a hero
Time to take the revolution to the street
When we've clocked the madness way past zero, mmm...
In the numbers we can find the strength we need

When the angel, he has come to save you
Time to put the past behind you and take control
See him fight for all we need is justice
We can bring them to their knees with rock 'n' roll

It's supply and demand, it's all the same
You know the price you pay is more than you ever gave

I ain't gonna stand in your bread line no more
Gonna bring the world back home again
You won't find no memory of me on the door
Gonna bring the world back home again

See the enemy, it lies within you
After fighting with your conscience you'll see the truth
For to break the circuit we created, c'mon now!
Why don't you get off your ass and make your move

It's supply and demand, it's all the same
You know the price you pay is more than you ever gave

I ain't gonna stand in your bread line no more
Gonna bring the world back home again
You won't find no memory of me on the door
Gonna bring the world back home again
Bring the world back home

Well, I won't stand in your bread line no more
Gonna bring the world back home again
You won't find no memories of me on the door
Gonna bring the world back home again
Bring the world back home

Well, I won't stand, I'm gonna bring back
Gonna bring the world back home again
You won't find no memories of me on the door
Gonna bring the world back home again




I'm gonna bring back
Bring the world back home
