Lyrics
Rude 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.
You must be proud of yourself
Taking a stand against the world
Ruled by man
With your fist in the air
Metaphorically you take on the world
Girl you're like Muhammed Ali
I'm sorry about that
People they're moving around
They're driftin' and driftin'
Around this town
forgetting their friends
Forgetting their names
Overlook me now, but you can't skip James
I'm sorry 'bout that
I don't mean this to be a shock
I'm telling you honey
'Cause you know it rocks
A smiling sniper taking aim
It gives him pleasure
To give Pain
In a rude world
It's a rude world
I'm sorry about that
Rude world babe
