That's the Way of the World

You’ve been around the block,

Dunno why you need to ask.

You should know by now,

You can’t get the staff.

My girlfriend says she loves me,

Then she says I’ll see ya’.

Don’t y’know,

I can’t be late to meet my dealer.

(Oh no -)

 

That’s the way of the world.

That’s the way of the world.

That’s the way of the world.

Yeah, that’s the way it is girl.

 

Your governments a nest of vipers,

Freedom’s gonna come.

Even though it might be,

Down the barrel of a gun.

Between the chicken fever,

An’ the pig flu.

Your boyfriend’s got no time,

Left for lovin’ you.

(Oh no -)

 

That’s the way of the world.

That’s the way of the world.

That’s the way of the world.

Yeah, that’s the way it is girl.

 

Don’t let the little things pull you down,

You know.

You know you gotta be strong.

‘Cos a lot of things are gonna go wrong.

 

Your heroes will let you down,

‘Cos even Gods have feet of clay.

This is a world,

Where only money and entropy hold sway.

Your boyfriend says he’ll miss you,

Now you’ve been an’ gone.

But he’s still havin’ a sleep,

Keepin’ the light on.

(Oh yeah –

Oh yeah -)

 

That’s the way of the world.

That’s the way of the world.

That’s the way of the world.

Yeah, that’s the way it is girl.

That’s the way of the world.

That’s the way of the world.

That’s the way of the world.

Yeah, that’s the way it is girl.
