The World Lyrics


Loudon Wainwright Iii The World




Oh the world is a terrible place
Look at the look on your face
It says it all
This world's appalling
And we ache for outer space
'Cause the world is a terrible place

And the world is a crappy old hole
From bottom to top and pole to pole
No there's no good news
This world's useless
I'm out of here it's my goal
Cause the world is a crappy old hole

And the world is a sandwich of shite
Every day you take another bite
You think you're Superman
Sure you can handle it
'Til you come across kryptonite
Chunky style
The world is a sandwich of shite alright

What a wonderful world it would be
If wishes were horses maybe
It's just a song Louis' coming on strong again
We ache for fantasy
What a wonderful world it would be

Cause the world is a dirty old joke
And there's no way to fix it, it's broke
It's beyond repair and I couldn't care less
If and when it goes up in smoke
And it will
Cause the world is a dirty old crappy old shitty old terrible joke
Ooooh
