The Sold World / Проданный мир
The Sold World / Проданный мир Lyrics and music: Alejandro Martinez-Esteve Sr. © 2025 Alejandro Martinez-Esteve Sr. All rights reserved Песня о том, что наш мир может скатиться в ад, если вовремя не одуматься. Русский вариант этой песни можно найти на моем канале в Rutube. А это текст на английском, песни опубликованой на Spotify. Verse 1 What would our old ancestors think, if they could see us from the sky? If all their deeds and legacies someone would throw down to die. Verse 2 All the effort they once fostered, all they built for days to come, their own grandchildren and strangers tore it down ‘til it was gone. [Chorus] The sold world ain’t never gonna be united, yeah, the sold world ain’t never gonna be united. Verse 3 They don’t read the old books anymore, don’t know how to speak their mind, they live in far-off virtual worlds, leave the real one far behind. Verse 4 Love, friendship and celebration, they’ve all been left to fade, in a world so cold and heavy no one wants to stay. [Chorus] The sold world ain’t never gonna be united, yeah, the sold world ain’t never gonna be united. Verse 5 How did the road we followed, lookin’ so straight and clear, lead us into a destiny of medieval chains and fear? Verse 6 Not by perfect science, not by bitter wise old men, but by boredom’s poison and the seven deadly sins. [Chorus] The sold world ain’t never gonna be united, yeah, the sold world ain’t never gonna be united. Verse 7 Pride, anger, greed and envy, gluttony, sloth and lust, judging without confession, in no one can we trust. Verse 8 The merchants You once drove out, Lord, from Your holy temple door, have now come back again, Lord, out of greed and horror’s core. [Chorus] The sold world ain’t never gonna be united, yeah, the sold world ain’t never gonna be united. Verse 9 Look who’s sittin’ on the throne now! See that fierce and angry face! His red cap is a crown now, made of blood and disgrace. Verse 10 His greedy little sideshow replaces honor and truth, he’s selling us smoke and nothing, like it’s the greatest proof. [Chorus] The sold world ain’t never gonna be united, yeah, the sold world ain’t never gonna be united. Verse 11 And the worst of all the story: they call success a lie. Perfect is the pure deception, never tired to make you buy. Verse 12 How can we break this rope now, and make the serpent die? You start the work inside you, kill the snake that hides inside. Verse 13 Our old ones would be smiling if they could see us here, for their dreams and their wisdom would be living in you, my dear. Verse 14 Their dreams and their past glory would lift us up again, and their sacred flags and banners we’d raise them in the wind. [Final Chorus] The united world ain’t never gonna be sold, no, the united world ain’t never gonna be sold.
