Sad , Sad World   

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  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

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 awhile, and then the other side starts right up again

It’s a sad , sad world ,  ----------------  it’s a sad , sad world
It’s a sad , sad world ,  ----------------  it’s a sad , old world
But we gotta keep on living, in this sad old world

Water's tossed  and water's turned, lessons taught but never learned
Save your wisdom for the worm, it’s a sad , sad world -  a sad, sad,  world

Gravity will affect you, it will always pull you down
Your body will reject you, ‘til you’re six feet in the ground
It’s a sad, sad world  –    what you gonna do
This sad, old world  –   is always gonna have it’s way with you

It’s a sad , sad world ,  ----------------  it’s a sad , sad world
It’s a sad , sad world ,  ----------------  it’s a sad , old world
This sad, old world  –   is always gonna have it’s way with you
