What happened in their hearts? To make them wanna write the words But gonna tear this world apart The beauty of their lives Is when they're dead and gone The world still sings along When anything went right * When anything went wrong They put it in a song Would Elvis be just a look Or the Rolling Stones mistook, without those songs? Mmmm Would Sinatra be just a gangster Or would Jackson be just a dancer, without those songs? Yea-ah Would Madonna be just a face? Or Nirvana be just a place without those songs? Yea-ah What happened in their lives? What happened in their hearts? To make them wanna write the words They're gonna tear this world apart The beauty of their lives Is when they're dead and gone The world still sings along When anything went right When anything went wrong They put it in a song, yea-ah Oooooh, oooo Oooooh, oooh When anything went right When anything went wrong They put it in a song Oh who would make a scene * And where would we all be Without those songs * Without those songs
