Here are the tabs for Half the world by Rush. Some parts were rather
difficult to transcribe since there is so much overdubbing. However I
came up with something that fits, and It sounds right. If you have any
suggestions, contact me at [email protected]

Lyrics:
Half the world hates
What half the world does everyday
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway
Half the world Lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Half the world is
Half the world was
Half the world thinks
While the other half does
Half the world talks
With half the mind on what they say
Half the world walks
with half a mind to run away
Half the world lies
Half the world learns
Half the world flies
As half the world turns
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries to be the other half
Half of us divided
Like a torn-up photograph, A torn-up photograph
Half of us are trying
To reach the other half
To reach the other half
Half the world cares
While half the world is wasting the day
Half the world shares
While half the world is stealing away
Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries to be the other half
To be the other half
