Rush - Half The World Lyrics
Half the world hates
What half the world does every day
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway
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
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 cries
Half the world tries
To be the other half
Half of us divided
Like a torn-up photograph
Half of us are trying
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

Rush Half The World Comments
R.I.P.........NEIL PEART....!!!
RIP Neil Peart. Amazing drummer, brilliant lyricist.
I wish I sounded this good left handed.
Solid percussion from Neil! RIP, Professor...
Geddy's voice is awesome on this album. Test for Echo is always my first pick to introduce Rush do someone.
Never a thumbs down! Hold your fire!
@Mike Grant which album you will suggest for a first listen?
Always always always in sync with one another!! They are my true love!!!!!
Rush did thier one perfect pop song and it might catch on in 80 more years
Conheço o grupo Rush desde 1984 sempre gostei muito de todas as músicas.
⭐️True Rush story⭐️
Did you guys know that Geddy’s true name is “Gary” but became “Geddy” bcuz that is the only way his grandmother could pronounce “Gary”❓
It was the was his Mother said Gary
Geddy looking fine AF‼️
THE 24 who put a thumbs down on this song are numbskulls....
WOW.....One of the best & Powerful songs of RUSH...MARVELOUS....THANX FOR SHARING...
Every great song I listen to on YouTube regardless of who or what it is someone feels like they're paying the band or artist credit by saying how underrated the song is or they are, underrated is the most misused incorrect comment on here more often than not and more often than not "not true" at all, the dictionary definition of underrated is —verb (used with object),
un·der·rat·ed, un·der·rat·ing.
to rate or evaluate too low; underestimate. And more often than not when there's a thousand positive comments and the very well known act sold a few hundred thousand copies of the album I'm not thinking of that as "underrated" sorry to go on but it seems I can't watch anything on here regardless without multiple people mentioning how "underrated it is"😁
It fits into Neil's character to be on the other side of the fence of Geddy & Alex. Always such a loner. tons of love and respect for that man.
A song that should played daily on all of the many rock stations. Fu$# modern day "music"
We are fortunate to have rush in at least half our world.
RUUUUUUSSSSHHH!!!
This is so much better than modern music it's amazing how much our music changes through the years
Test For Echo is 1 of the Most Under Rated Rush Albums and 1 of My Favorite of the 90s Rush
I don’t care what people say! Test For Echo is an awesome album!
I met Geddy Lee 12/18 never forget ❤🙏
Lucky dude
Cool seeing a bass icon reversed like he's lefty like I am.
🌎🎸🎼🎸🌎🎼🎸🌎
Meanwhile at the hall of Alex Getty and Neil
Half the Leonard half the Willard half the Jonathan
Very underrated album. there are some killer tunes on that one
Some of their best work
Half the world hates
What half the world does every day
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 a 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 cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries
To be the other half
Half of us divided Like a torn-up photograph, Half of us are
Trying 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
Songwriters: Alex Zivojinovich / Gary Lee Weinrib / Neil Elwood Peart
I think I need to go back and re-listen to all the RUSH albums during my heavy drug years. I totally can't/don't remember this song.
Stunning stuff!
It is bout the last one i remember. Lost my race to rats! I am el gato you rats are about to pay! Just like flash gordon when they tried to reprogram gen zarkov. Thank you jesus!
as a rush fan this is an awful lack luster effort. terrible time 4 them.
I love, love these guys. They rock my heart out!
I like this song ,hafe the the world true ...
I enjoy the beat but the lyrics are garbage
Amazing❤️❤️
Such an under-rated song. beautifully constructed. 3 + minutes of great pop sensibility. Wish they'd have played this a little longer than just the T4E Tour.
So much great music they have given the world
Dislike for the horizontal flipping. :(
It had to be flipped or else the video would be taken down for copyright reasons.
Best band in all of history. This song proves it.
I could not even pivk top 50 favs!
Lifeson adds so much color and character to everything...2:42 and 3:33. No one else makes musical/sonic choices like he does.
Comes from the heart! Complete choice
Superb!
Memories.
Like many of their songs, more appropriate for the times 20 years later than when it was written!
And the more time that passes, it becomes more true. Anthem is a perfect example.
And then Peart is playing upside down lol
Is it just me, or does the intro and some parts of the video have a definite Fallout kind of theme going on?
trumps wall....
if the world was halfway to understand anything we wouldn't have so much bullshit from the media, quit this bs please, russian nukes, chinesse nukes, yet the big fucking asteroid doesn't kill us. fuck you media!
I noticed the left hand playing instantly but thought it a style of the video which gave it a cool, creepy look ... especially in Driven. I don't understand why this would avoid infringement or why RUSH would care. it's YouTube and their videos are few and far between.
this classic video , reminds me of DEVO's , Beautiful World video classic , posted by jteglund
I like this tune,definitely 1 of their best.
WOW... even switching to playing left-handed, they still sound better than any other band out there!
Agslions lol!!!!!
No wonder why that guy was holding a sign that said "ETAH" (<->) "HATE"
Agslions
And you KNOW THIS‼️
For all the music which they have graced us with that we have driven listening to, taken showers with them blasting through each droplet of water, let me add this about powerhouse, Rush...
BRAVO, BRAVO ‼️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
davidly
BRAVO 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾‼️
Crap dude i was just trippin in that!
why backward? why?
+spiralarray1969 - YouTube would take it down... it's just a way to get around that.
Hal Kits ithinkithastodowithhalftheworldgoingonewaywhiletheotherhalfisgoingtheothrrwaytruecounterparts
totally most favorite song of all time!
One of mine also
Why is everyone playing left handed???????
because actually they are all left handed mongrels in real life but have been fooling people for decades
The video was put backwards so YouTube doesn't copyright it.
why is the video backwards?
+Andy Tatum To avoid it getting taken down
great song awesome music video from canada's best rock band rush. a well written song too from the professor. #rusharerockgods
The image is mirrored in order not to get the video deleted due to copyright infridgement. Notice the sign - it says "THE HALF" backwards.
@Macdom Good to see them play left handed for a change :). I'm a lefty when it comes to music. Fact: Jimi Hendrix wrote with his right hand and played guitar with his left hand. Peace always! RIP, Mitch Mitchell!
wow took to long but finally noticed there playing south paw! Coincides with all the signs reading backwards. Perhaps Neil is touching on the subject of reflections again?
Rush is another of my favorite band
The Who & Rush my two top favorite bands
@Jeff Alger Mine are still the Beatles and prolly... some heavy metal band :).
+Jeff Alger RUSH my #1...the rest of my favorites all know their rolls and line up accordingly!! LOL...Cheers Bruddah
+Jeff Alger RUSH my #1...the rest of favorites all know their rolls and line up accordingly!! LOL...Cheers Bruddah
rush is so great
1 of my fav Rush tunes!
I kinda noticed they are playing left handed as well. I think you guys are right that they are playing as the "other half" good stuff..
They are not playing left handed. The image is mirrored in order not to get the video deleted due to copyright infridgement. Notice the sign - it says "THE HALF" backwards.
CARLOOOS81 el video esta Invertido, hacele una imagen mirror para que el video este normal como tiene que ser
Is the video supposed to be backwards?
RetepBocaj42 yes. To avoid copyright infringement
oh no I was talking about the Godin, but thanks.
The solo is his mandola.
meee to wondering why they appear as lefties....is the other half...as we know it...the other half.....I too am confused...babay face does a vid...sorry for the stupid things....he is a true lefty...but plays a right hand stringed acustic...it is upside down..it's a live version...by regsfile...check out a man...doin itupside down.....
Awesome! I've never seen this video before.
Gran Tema!!
Wrong. Video is reversed, Geddy and Lerxst are not lefties.
it's the point of the song, saying how the western and eastern hemispheres are so different from one another
Is this video supposed to be reversed?
What guitar is alex usig besides the sunburst PRS?
Thanks for posting. I'm kind of surprised Atlantic hasn't posted this themselves.
