Lyrics
The Way Of The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A bolted door and a prison cell
Turned his life into a living hell
It seems like fiction but he knows for a fact
She only did a disappearing act
He's doing time
For a phoney crime
She set her trap and played him for a fool
That's the way of the world
Where you get what you deserve
That's the way of the world
Never thought she'd have the nerve
That's the way of the world
That's the way of the world
It's payback time for the years she's lost
He's had his fun, but wonders at what cost
The plan has worked, they're convinced she's dead
By far the best laugh she's ever had
But he's not amused
'cause he's wrongly accused
Still he must admit she surely played it cool
That's the way of the world
She's a villian in disguise
That's the way of the world
Pulling the wool over his eyes
That's the way of the world
Yes the way of the world
Who's gonna believe him when the truth really sounds too absurd
She and her lover simply fell off the face of the earth
He's making the headlines
While she's spending her days at the beach
A new face, a new
A passport to paradise
That's the way of the world
