Lyrics
Wild 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.
It's a wild, wild world
It's a wild, wild world
And there's money to be made
Off someone else's shame
Every day and every night
There's something going wrong
City rats to suburbanites
Hold tight 'cause this is your song
It's a wild, wild world
That you might not believe in
It's a wild, wild world
That can be so deceiving
And there's money to be made
Off someone else's shame
And there's money to be made
Off someone else's pain
Time can turn its back on you
Leave you broken and asking for
A little bit more and less to lose
You lie and cheat and steal just to score
It's a wild, wild world
It's a wild, wild world
It's a wild, wild world
It's a wild, wild world
And there's money to be made
Off someone else's shame
And there's money to be made
Off someone else's pain
Broken glass and alcohol
Bars on windows, security walls
You don't belong here in this place
You're too good for that
I can see it in your face
It's a wild, wild world
That you might not believe in
It's a wild, wild world
That can be so deceiving
(It's a wild, wild world)
It's a wild, wild world
(It's a wild, wild world)
It's a wild, wild world
