The Tide Is Turning (After Live Aid)

I used to think the world was flat
 Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
 I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
 Used to look in on the children at night
 In the glow of their Donald Duck light
 And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
 But ooh, the tide is turning
 The tide is turning
 Satellite buzzing through the endless night
 Exclusive to moonshots and the world title fights
 Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning
 Who is the strongest, who is the best
 Who holds the aces, the East or the West
 This is the crap that our children are learning
 But ooh, the tide is turning
 (Ooh) The tide is turning
 The tide is turning
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 Now the satellite's confused
 'Cause on Saturday night
 The airwaves were full of compassion and light
 And his silicon heart warmed to the sight
 Of a billion candles burning
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 The tide is turning Billy
 I'm not saying the battle is won
 But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
 Wrested technology's sword from the hands of the warlords
 Ooh, the tide is turning
 Ooh, the tide is turning
 The tide is turning Sylvester
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 (Ooh, the tide is turning)
 [Morse Code:] "That's it!
 Now the past is over but you are not alone
 Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone
 We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea
 Of macho bullshit and mediocrity"
