🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Use them and let's start trying (oh-oh-oh)
  • To make it a place worth living in
  • Ooh, Superman, where are you now
  • When everything's gone wrong somehow?

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Use them and let's start trying (oh-oh-oh)
  • To make it a place worth fighting for
  • This is the world we live in (oh-oh-oh)
  • And these are the names we've given (oh-oh-oh)
