Intro:
Another bomb in Bagdad, forty lives are lost
Is this nation building really worth the cost?
Stock and housing prices stuck in an endless dive
Hurricanes scour the coast with wind and surging tide
Man and Mother Nature conspire to obliterate
Are all our efforts subject to this fate?

Verse 1:
What this world needs is more power tool songs
A symphony of band saws buzzing all day long
We'll build a brighter future, fixing all that's wrong
What this world needs is more power tool songs

Verse 2:
Hammer out the hatred, sand away the rough
Rout away the edges 'til it's smooth enough
To buff it good and glossy, life will really shine
When our thoughts are focused on building all the time

Bridge:
Carbide blades cut our cares to sizes we can lift
With a welder we'll repair every social rift

Verse 3:
This may sound too simple, a foolish little dream
Build away our burdens, have you a better scheme?
There's no room for anger when we spend each day
Searching for solutions with everything we make

Verse 4:
What this world needs is more power tool songs
A symphony of band saws buzzing all day long
We'll build a brighter future, fixing all that's wrong
What this world needs
What this world needs
What this world really, really needs
Is more power tool songs
