Gowan Great Dirty World
(Lawrence Gowan) There you sit Staring at the dead screen And it's sad Life ain't like your daydream Every rat, gets an easy pigeon Every snake, somehow works a way in It's hard enough to sleep at night Darlin' so you've been kicked inside You're not the first one Missing a pound of pride You'll see worse than me In your day Sooner or later Everyone's heard to say that all in all It's a great dirty world Never safe You're at the disadvantage Then you start To hear the subtle message: Play along - in time they're going to reach you Play it down - eventually they beat you It's hard enough to sleep at night Darlin' so you've been kicked inside You're not the first one Missing a pound of pride You'll see worse than me In your day Sooner or later Everyone's heard to say that all in all It's a great dirty world Everyone's cut by this knife Don't expect nothing from life But everything we've got to give Give it all Give it all Give it all It's hard enough to sleep at night Darlin' so you've been kicked inside You're not the first one Missing a pound of pride You'll see worse than me In your day Sooner or later Everyone's heard to say that all in all It's a great dirty world Darlin' so you've been kicked inside You're not the first one Missing a pound of pride You'll see worse than me In your day Sooner or later Everyone's heard to say that all in all It's a great dirty world Darlin' so you've been kicked inside You're not the first one Missing a pound of pride You'll see worse than me In your day Sooner or later Everyone's heard to say that all in all It's a great dirty world Darlin' so you've been kicked inside You're not the first one Missing a pound of pride You'll see worse than me In your day Sooner or later Everyone's heard to say that all in all It's a great dirty world
