It’s a sad, sad, world ----- Full of tears and lies
It’s a sad, sad, world ----- Poor boy you got to die
In this sad, old, world ----- With your sad old eyes
The rich man he gets richer and the poor man he stays poor
There’s no mercy for the stranger but I’ll tell you one thing for sure
It’s a sad , sad, world – it’s dog eat dog
Just keep your place in line – and trust your fate to God
It’s still an eye for a eye - it's still a tooth for a tooth
They talk about forgiveness but that’s just a word they use
It’s a sad , sad, world – they gotta have their little wars
But did you ever stop and wonder – what all the rhetoric was for
Because one side might be black, and one side might be white
And everyone is sure that they’re on the side that’s right
It’s a sad, sad, world – and I guess it never ends
One side stops a while and then the other side starts right up again

It’s a sad, old, world , --------------------------
But we gotta keep on living, in this sad, old, world
Water's tossed and water's turned
Lesson's taught but never learned
Save your wisdom for the worm
It’s a sad, sad, world
It's a sad, sad, world
Gravity will affect you it will always pull you down
Your body will reject you ‘til you’re 6 feet in the ground
It’s a sad, sad, world - oh but what you gonna do
This sad, old, world - is always gonna have it’s way with you

This sad, old, world - is always gonna have it’s way with you (X4)
