God is great, God is good
He guards your neighborhood
Though it's generally understood
Not quite the way you would
You try to take the slack
Stay awake and watch his back
But something happens every now and then
And someone breaks into the promised land
Ah boy boy
This world is not your toy
This world is long on hunger
This world is short on joy
A-e-i-o
You speak as if you know
What's good for everyone
What's good in what you've done?
What's good about a world in which
War rages at a fever pitch
And people die for the little things
A little corn, a little beans
Ah boy boy
This world is not your toy
This world is, this world is
Long on hunger
Short on joy
How much longer
You gonna keep the world hungry boy?
You measure peace with guns
Progress in mega-tons
Who's left when the war is won?
Soldier of misfortune--
Soldier of an angry call
Soldier on foreign soil
I'm not here to fight your war
I know what you're fighting for
Ah boy boy
This world is not your toy
This world is, this world is
Long on hunger
Short on joy
How much longer
You gonna keep the world hungry boy?

Jackson Browne, all'anagrafe Clyde Jackson Browne, è un cantautore statunitense nato a Los Angeles nel 1948. Considerato uno dei pilastri della musica folk-rock americana degli anni '70 e '80, Browne ha conquistato il pubblico con la sua scrittura introspettiva e le melodie evocative. La sua carriera musicale è iniziata negli anni '60 come membro di gruppi locali prima di emergere come solista nel 1972 con l'album d'esordio "Jackson Browne". Il suo successo è stato consacrato da album come "For Everyman" (1973), "The Pretender" (1976) e "Running on Empty" (1979), che hanno generato hit come "These Days", "Take It Easy", "Somebody's Baby" e "Running on Empty". Browne è noto per la sua sensibilità poetica, le sue riflessioni sociali e la sua musica spesso introspettiva. Ha collaborato con artisti di spicco come David Lindley, Glenn Frey e Linda Ronstadt. La sua influenza sulla musica americana rimane significativa, ispirando generazioni di cantautori.
