It s A Beautiful World
VERSE 1
When the lights go out in the street
The bums and dregs have long been asleep
Ain t nobody gonna trifle with me
Cause it s a beautiful world
VERSE 2
We were young we were hungry and mean
With missing fingers, scars inbetween
When hunger s king and poverty s queen
It s a beautiful world
BRIDGE 1
There s a blue sky hanging over our head
Your friends are all drunk and your enemies dead
The county judge is wondering why
He tips his hat as he walks by
There s a hangman and he s stretching the sun
Swings once a day from dusk until dawn
When the river of life fills up with your blood
It s a beautiful world
BRIDGE 2
Yea can you see the power lines
Going out of business and a one way sign
God in heaven or the man on the moon
I can t find no elbow room
VERSE 3
The ship is sinking with no mayday
A thousand people drowning out in the bay
Sit and smile while you dabble away
It s a beautiful world
