sad old world

well, what are we going to do
about this sad old world
our fingerprints surround it
with the misdeeds we have done
everything I ever knew
about this sad old world
everything around it
falls behind the setting sun

well, we really dropped the ball
in this sad old world
we let the ones with money
rule our hearts and minds
we could have had it all
in this sad old world
there ain't nothing funny
about the mess we've left behind

say your prayers and poetry
for this sad old world
it could use all the hope
you have in your heart to give
there more than you know, you see,
inside this sad old world
all we have to cope with
are they reasons we live
