Lyrics for A Sunset

I scanned the menu options I did not have a choice I'd like to teach the world to sing But I do not have a voice So I bought myself a ticket To the happening of the year The sky lit up with colors The crowd let out a cheer "It's just a sunset," someone said Something that happens every day "Yes, it's a sunset," someone said But now they've found a way to make it pay I like to look at pretty things I like to feast my eyes Went to see the northern lights But they were pale and weak And not as advertised So now, I'm learning about money And I'm learning about law The first rule of economics? Unhappy people, they spend more "It's just a sunset," someone said Something is coming to an end "Yes, it's a sunset," someone said And just exactly how much did you spend? Oh, I'd like to teach the world to sing But I do not have a voice And I'd like to buy the world some time Some time and a choice Yes, I'd like to teach the world to sing But I, I do not have a voice And I'd like to buy the world some time Some time Some time And a choice
