Wonderful World

there's a peddler a pusher standing on the corner

there's a junky on the street with some crack to warm her

down and out in the city she's working as a hooker

so the system took the freedom to overlook her

she don't exist that's made her feel the hate

she's just a victim of the world that we create

she didn't have a chance man she didn't want to do it

but she never got the choice so she just said screw it

she took it to the bottom just trying it all

knowing that nobody even cared at all

don't deny her needs take a look at yourself

before you start talking 'bout anything else

such a wonderful world such a wonderful world

there's a lower class family they're living in a vice

you know it ain't to bad but it sure ain't nice

four kids in a flat that was built for two

cockroaches on the floor so what they gonna do

rats in the cellar no water in the tap

the kids of today are growing up with this crap

a sweet loving mother she does everything she can

a father with a will he's a fighting man

he's lost his job and all the money's been spent

so tell me anybody who's gonna pay the rent

and you're all talking 'bout equality

this whole fucking world is insanity

such a wonderful world..... wonderful wonderful

meanwhile in a suburb some fancy boulevard

there's a couple in a house with a dog on guard

3 cars in the garage they keep everything inside

afraid of the violence afraid to go outside

money ain't funny if you're afraid to use it

you grip it to hard when you're afraid to loose it

working as a lawyer in some upperclass area

alone at home his wife goes into hysteria

a gun under her pillow to tense to relax

to rich to face reality to scared to face the facts

they stick to what they got and they try to make it pretty

hiding from the life that's going on down in the city

such a wonderful world.....
