A slight ballad with just Freddie and Brian closes The Works and it’s the saddest and most socially conscious song the band has come up with so far.
The world was awakening to the hunger problems in Africa and elsewhere so Freddie wrote some heartfelt lyrics that asked the title’s question.
And then they would perform at Live Aid.
“Is this the world we devastated right to the bone?…If there’s a god in the sky, what can he think of what we’ve done to the world that he created?”
Indeed.
