Beautiful World

Every day it's the same when they say that it might be the end In the end when it ends, then I'll listen to them You wake up, go to work, go to sleep Then you do it, you do it, if you're lucky then you do it again Yeah, we walk through a world that we don't understand When I look in your eyes, I'm just happy I can Yeah, we'll laugh and we'll cry and we'll lose and we'll win We'll get through it and to prove it, yeah, we'll do it again There's glory in the saddest story Look at it, just sticks and bricks Makes you wonder how the pieces fit Where we're going, where we've been This ain't paradise we're living in It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world? It's a shame when they say that it's been done and said They keep digging that grave, let them bury their heads There's a kid with a dream and a sky full of stars There's another first kiss in the back of some car Turn a page and write the story Look at it, just sticks and bricks Makes you wonder how the pieces fit Where we're going, where we've been This ain't paradise we're living in It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world? They're running numbers out of the Spanish grocery Mary Mary says her rosary We get a ladder, there's a cat up in a tree Ah The pretzel man's wearing Gucci glasses A widow spreads her lover's ashes I'll hold on to you, hold on to me, yeah We'll do it, we'll do it, yeah, we're lucky then we'll do it again Ah Look at it, just sticks and bricks Makes you wonder how the pieces fit Where we're going, where we've been This ain't paradise we're living in It's a diamond, it's a dirty string of pearl Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world? Oh, ain't it a beautiful world? Oh, oh, ain't it a beautiful world?
