In Flames - Land Of Confusion Lyrics






I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving in, into the streets

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
Burning burning, into the night

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Ooh Superman, where are you now
When everything gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, men of power
Losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

  5. A.... R....

    in flames do a punk rock version of an old alternative song? ok I'm there😎

  6. D.... ....

    sometimes in flames make really good songs. this is not the case

  7. N.... ....

    I was waiting for Bjorn to lay down a sick guitar solo to salvage this trainwreck of an unimaginative cover.

    Needless to say, I was very disappointed.

  8. l.... ....

    Wow these guys suck

  9. R.... J....

    in flames has gone a long way down since the clayman days. perfectly good waste of a once amazing metal band.

  10. A.... J....

    Just as brilliant as the original!

  11. J.... ....

    All versions are great

  12. F.... P....

    I dont like Disturbed and i love In Flames, but i like Disturbed's version better

  13. T.... ....

    Cheese.

  14. S.... S....

    I think Genesis sucks, and Disturbed isn't even a serious band...

  15. l.... ....

    In Flames is way better than Disturbed imo but Disturbed's cover of this song is waaaay better lol.

  16. S.... S....

    It would have been better if at least the verses sounded like the GENESIS (original) version. He could scream his head off during the pre-chorus ("There's too many men..." and "This is the time...") but he decided to emphasize the wrong sections. I love the intensity of the lyrics but their presentation is too much of a departure IMHO. The music on the other hand totally kicks ass and sounds way better than the Disturbed version of the song!

  17. P.... S....

    Not quite as shit as Disturbed, but almost, and that's quite an achievement.

  18. x.... ....

    this > disturbed's cover

  19. r.... g....

    disturbed did better than inflames

    r.... g....

    Genesis did it WAY better than both... and they did it first!

    r.... g....

    @Kim Cornell heard the original to many times disturbed goes out to a younger generation, and has better riff and he good singer and I prefer disturbed version

  20. J.... M....

    i like all three versions of this

  21. s.... ....

    out of the 3 (the two others being the genesis ands disturbed versions) I'd personally say this is the worst. still good though.

  22. r.... ....

    Okay , can metal bands please stop covering classic songs. You clearly have no fucking clue as to what you're doing.

  23. T.... W....

    In Flames cover might have come sooner but the Disturbed version is better. Weird

  24. I.... ....

    and im sure this was before disturbeds version :)

  25. F.... M....

    hahaha poster thinks that the original song was done by Disturbed!

  26. D.... ....

    At some point it sounds like a power ranger theme

  27. G.... ....

    Time for trumps land of confusion. I hope not but possible. I'd love Meshuggah to remake that one ;)

  28. D.... ....

    loved the first 8 seconds

    D.... ....

    Was a poor remake no doubt. This coming from a death metal fan ;)

    D.... ....

    Yeah, this blows. The disturbed version is better, surprisingly.

    D.... ....

    it has that IF feel to it. lol its great depending on the perspective

    D.... ....

    @ph1losopher gotta keep in mind this is a whole new take on the song, disturbed just decided to go ctrl + C, ctrl + V and boom, done.

  29. M.... ....

    I love In Flames and I love Genesis and this song but this cover is not really floating my boat. Shame that.

    M.... ....

    Yup. As far as the cover aspect of it, I think I prefer Disturbed's version just a bit better. This isn't all that bad though.

  30. J.... D....

    Lol silly Disturbed (who i like btw) fans probably don't even know who In Flames are and their significance in metal.

    J.... D....

    Yes they are to set an example on what to NOT to sound like

    J.... D....

    @Marcelery Stick Disturbed is a great example of how to sound pretentious and dry. In Flames helped poineer the melodeath genre. Disturbed released overproduced shit for the radio. Listen to disturbed now and they sound dated. Listen to Whoracle or Colony from In Flames and it still sounds great

  31. r.... ....

    What a pile of e
    poor shit

  32. S.... M....

    lol..google de release date
    1.genesis 1986
    2.In Flames 2002
    3.Disturbed 2006

  33. S.... M....

    lyrics + vocal + double drums = i am in heaven

  34. K.... _....

    Personally, i prefer the Disturbed cover, this one is too fast for my taste. I know that the original is from Genesis, and this cover was first than Disturbed.

    K.... _....

    +Pittoors _ listen justin bieber

    K.... _....

    @Satyajeet Malgaonkar Nah.

  35. N.... H....

    lol

    🤣😂😂🤣😂

    N.... H....

    @Masha Synowicz 😂 WTAFUCK? how you did this?? >😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 <

    N.... H....

    They must have been mad lmao but alhough I love in flames... The disturbed version was way better!

    N.... H....

    2006 Disturbed the sweet line of great versions. They suck. Genesis and In Flames are both great.

    N.... H....

    @Gehtdi anschasau this is the correct answer. Couldn't agree more

  36. I.... S....

    What in the goddamn am I listening too..,

  37. f.... ....

    this is better than disturbed

  38. p.... ....

    Cover from Disturbed...you are funnny... stupid...and funny....

    p.... ....

    ..Cover of Disturbed? Are you retarded?
    The original song is by Genesis in 1986. And In Flames also made their cover before Disturbed did theirs, so get your shit straight before you comment.

    p.... ....

    Are you talking this to me or the video uploader? If the answer is "to me": Are you idiot enough to don´t understand my clear and present sarcasm? you are as funny as the video uploader...and equally stupid...but funny....

    p.... ....

    My bad, forgot to mention that it was meant towards the uploader, havent slept in over 20 hours so my mind has been a bit weird. Now that I see my comment again I don't really fully understand what I meant when I wrote it in all honest eheh..
    Also noticed your comment was 9 months old so no idea why I commented in the first place. ah well, shit happens. Sorry if you misunderstood, as it was my fault.

  39. B.... A....

    Genesis=original Inflamem and Disturbed=cover, i like them all .

  40. F.... F....

    genesis cover.. I prefer this version than Distrubed, this is faster

    F.... F....

    +Fabricio Ferreira not fast its different..disturbed just copy paste

    F.... F....

    How can you say Disturbed is a copy paste job? Especially considering David Draiman (lead singer of Disturbed) has never screamed lyrics.

  41. Z.... B....

    Who cares about originality and stuff. I just like In Fames and the way they did it!

    Z.... B....

    They made it sound In Flames-like

  42. S.... S....

    Its OK. But its not Disturbed, not by a long shot.

  43. S.... G....

    i prefer the cover version of  disturbed

    S.... G....

    +Gevaert Sebastien I agree, I was so excited to see this cover, then it fell flat =*( (oh, superman where are you now)

  44. x.... x....

    and for all fuckers, the orginal song is from GENESIS (i don't like the original version as much as this one, but is better not to confuse them)

  45. x.... x....

    I prefer this version than the original, cuz i'm not so old school, i like more the melodic death metal genre

  46. J.... R....

    Listen troll, In Flames did this BEFORE Disturbed. BEFORE.

    J.... R....

    Genesis did it before both of them

    J.... R....

    Well, thats like saying Black Sabbath and Deep Purple don't get props for being godfathers in metal.

    J.... R....

    @Jacob Benko No shit? :)

    J.... R....

    +John Robichau (Hightech Signs) Big Troll Google it ..noob wanna be :)..InFlames i Trust

  47. D.... ....

    Wow. This is so bad I don't even know where to start. Weak. Discombobulated. Forgettable. Me pissing on a tin can sounds better than this. This is actually so bad that the government should make it illegal to even exist.

  48. M.... H....

    fucking idiots genesis ripped off disturbed get it through your thick skulls

    M.... H....

    gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8 no h8 please masturb8

  49. A.... ....

    Disturbed did a better cover, but this one is also good.

    A.... ....

    disturbed is cringe

    A.... ....

    tumble road In Flames' cover of this song is cringe.. I don't even like Disturbed but their cover was way better.

  50. F.... ....

    Disturbed did it better

    F.... ....

    i agree

  51. k.... ....

    Are you fuckers so stupid you think Disturbed's version is the original? 

    Kill Yourselves. 

    k.... ....

    You don't sound very intelligent.

    k.... ....

    Coming from an autistic mongoloid like you that's quite a compliment.

    k.... ....

    Youtube

  52. Y.... E....

    Not bad! ...( exept the bassdrum )

  53. j.... h....

    What the fuck is this shit????? Seriously!!

    j.... h....

    This is the shit my brother

  54. A.... M....

    I love the double-bass that In Flames adds. In my opinion, IF covers this song a lot better than Disturbed. 

  55. �.... O....

    You're a fuking uncultivated. Listen to Genesis dude

    �.... O....

    Whereas Genesis' version simply cannot be beaten, this is still In Flames' tribute to Genesis.

    Also, listening to In Flames automatically makes you uncultivated? (or an uncultivated what? Seems like you never got to finish that sentence for whatever reason.)

  56. B.... S....

    zajebisty wykon:)bużka dla głośno słuchających!!!

  57. H.... G....

    I'm sure you already know this, but Disturbed covered Genesis.

  58. G.... ....

    It's cover from Disturbed - Land Of Confusion
    Face palm...

    G.... ....

    The orginal version is singing Phil Collins with Genesis. Disturbed made cover like In Flames
    Face palm...

    G.... ....

    yeah, well, duh

    G.... ....

    @Gnaal You say that now...

    G.... ....

    I know right? Lol.

    G.... ....

    @fanoforlandomagic he was talking about the description in the video. Whoever made it said it's a cover from a song by disturbed.

  59. o.... ....

    Fuck ya all I love this version.  Yeah the Genesis version kicks ass butt that's cause of how fucked up and surreal it was.  But nah I just watched the Disturbed version and... well it was kinda lame.  The transition in the middle was cool but that's about it.

  60. N.... G....

    this is shit

  61. P.... ....

    I don't like it. :/
    I think a cover needs to have something like a touch from the band they're covering and something own. But this it too much of own...
    That's why I like Disturbed cover, because it has a mix between Disturbed but it still has something of Genesis.
    And I like In Flames but this cover... uh...

  62. O.... ....

    Genesis version is best. Disturbed's cover is awesome cause it builds upon the original and had Disturbed sound and flare. This is just...its terrible. It sounds hurried and inconsistent. Sounds like they did it purely as filler for an album or show. Its a mess. If they redone it in a slower pace, but maintained their heavier sound, it could honest be a good cover.

  63. R.... ....

    lol click any of those in flames songs in the side bar and be amazed

  64. B.... R....

    I dig it.  It has its charm.   Disturbed's was okay, but everything from that band sounds the same.   In Flames made it metal.  Solid.   (But the original from Genesis is still the best.)

  65. n.... ....

    considering its in flames, i think this cover matches their style perfectly at the time it was made. every band has their own version of a cover song. none are the same. just like disturbed's version matches their style perfectly. its not a matter of which is covered better. its just music.

  66. S.... H....

    Wait... what?!

  67. K.... S....

    Nice attempt, but The original and Disturbed's is better in my opinion. :3

    K.... S....

    @Zabigetsu
    It's not about the why but the how and about

    sending
    a
    message.

    K.... S....

    Rocksparadox From the blocks what is the message exactly? it's literally been 2 years since I commented on this

    K.... S....

    Not really... They followed the actual tempo of the song while these guys sped it up. Disturbed is a much harder metal cover of the original which barely counts as classic rock. Yes, they sound similar, but there are still many differences in the two versions. Draiman is also more talented at covering vocals than these guys. Don't get me wrong, these guys are great, but their style just doesn't work with the song.

    K.... S....

    @Chris Night Plays Chris you had a point until you lost every brain cell in your head.

    K.... S....

    @Chris Night Plays also, "proceeding to have relations with your mother". Really? Quit trying so hard kid.

  68. M.... ....

    Fuck me that is shittaculer

  69. M.... ....

    Fuck me that is shittaculer

  70. r.... ....

    This is bad and I feel bad.

  71. D.... T....

    It's Genesis' cover u douchebag

  72. E.... ....

    what the FUCK happened to in flames?

  73. S.... S....

    No.... Just no... I like In Flames, but this just sucks. I love the original and Disturbed's cover, but this is pure shit...

  74. D.... B....

    Butchery!

  75. V.... C....

    I love In flames, but.. Wtf is this?? Too baaaad

  76. C.... W....

    Complete Shit!!!!!

    C.... W....

    fuck you

    C.... W....

    @W00t199 No you LALALLA

    C.... W....

    What an enlightening conversation.

  77. i.... ....

    okay just gonna clear this up  Genesis did this song 1st its their song, In flames covered it, THEN disturbed covered it, in flames covered it before disturbed

  78. f.... v....

    This track its a original track from 1986 from Phil Collins Band  - Genesis, when we put a track in Youtube ,first do some Research,lol

  79. D.... D....

    Its a Genesis song. not a Disturbed song

    D.... D....

    Actually, it's a cover from a cover... Yes, it's a bit disapointing ^^

    D.... D....

    @Dowdheur Fluff Nope. In Flames covered it before Disturbed did, but good try.

    D.... D....

    @Kable WithaK Are you unable to read or unable to process the information you red? Just wondering.

    D.... D....

    @Gehtdi anschasau A comment was deleted and your commenting on something from five years ago. Who's got problems now?

    D.... D....

    @Kable WithaK It`s a different story then. Everybody has problems. Have a nice weekend despite of it!

  80. C.... G....

    actually it's a cover from Genesis...

  81. P.... M....

    I like InFlames but the version from disturbed is so much better

    P.... M....

    I like Disturbed but the version from InFlames is so much better...:)

    P.... M....

    @Forte Aspacardin I see what you did there and I like it!

  82. Z.... ....

    dude sweat?

  83. A.... S....

    Sure, if you're into dude sweat... It's okay, we don't judge you. Take care!

  84. m.... ....

    This description gave me hemorrhoids...

  85. Z.... ....

    still better than this

  86. A.... S....

    Okay, Skippy... Go "get down with the sickness." lol

  87. Z.... ....

    and you're retarded. this cover is to screamish, annoying, terrible, fast, and terrible

  88. A.... S....

    You're delusional.

  89. N.... b....

    You are right, for example, Renegades of Funk by Rage Against The Machine is a lot better than the original one.

    But the original song by Genesis IS good... it's even great!!
    you know.. you can never argue about taste and opinions..

    BTW, I do like the Disturbed cover but the original one has different vibe to it that I really love!

  90. Z.... ....

    just because its the original doesnt mean its good (ex. RuneScape)

  91. N.... b....

    The Genesis version is way way better.. you know.. the original one...

  92. Z.... ....

    the disturbed version is way better

  93. G.... S....

    Best Cover Ever

  94. P.... ....

    not as fond of this but respect this

  95. N.... ....

    Kids, am I right?

  96. T.... ....

    Lol what a kid

  97. O.... ....

    I wouldn't say it "fucking sucked" In Flames put their own twist to it, and yes while it's not their greatest work, it's not THAT bad. There is definitely way worse music out there.
