Lyrics
Wonderful 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.
Guys wearing gas masks are levelling their guns
At school children singing whilst studying sums
It's a clear sign of violence
And it's laced with heavy support
This whole situations been dragged through the dirt
By gargoyles and monsters and man eating birds
Who act like the jury but you never see them stand up in court
It's savage and ugly the riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways of this wonderful world
Well back at the banquet a madam meets her fate
Whilst almost a mile from her country estate
The helpless and homeless are dancing a ring in the rain
Prompted by pressure from home and abroad
Fifty five of them ministers will try to reach accord
On some ill judged remarks concerning madam baby Lorraine
It's savage and ugly the riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways of this wonderful world
Consignments of bibles and passenger planes
Japanese funerals and gambling games
And backers and bidders are dealing in textiles and lace
They order revues that will salvage the state
Guaranteed to put off and pass up that decay
While the latest concerns are reports of a slackening pace
Well it's savage and ugly the riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways of this wonderful world
(Well rock it son)
Well it's savage and ugly the riots unfurl
But these are the ways of this wonderful world
These are the ways of this wonderful world
Yes these are the ways of this wonderful world
So don't be a panicking haven't you heard
That these are the ways of this wonderful world
This wonderful world
(One more time)
