Hey Little World

Once on a cold dark night
Born into this world
They couldn't tell back then
Is it a boy or a girl?
And since then a story
Of uncertainty
It was clear by age 5
That he would never be free
Hey little world! You know what you're getting
Oh please little world! He's kicking your head in
What you gonna do, any one of you?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Anyone of you, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Grew up with plans for nothing
Lives in a house of clay
He didn't know back then
That they liked him that way
He never did what they told him
He never did what they said
Tried to tell him roll over again and this is what you get
Hey little world! You know what you're getting
Oh please little world! He's kicking your head in
What you gonna do, any one of you?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Anyone of you, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Take it to your mother
Now he is tall as a 'scraper
Now he is as wide as the sea
And when you look all around you
He is all you see
All around the planet
He's gonna make sure you heard
Hey little world! You know what you're getting
Oh please little world! He's kicking your head in
He's got 'em all lined up and ready to go
They're all lined up and I told you so
Hey little world! Back in the ocean again
What you gonna do, any one of you?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Anyone of you, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
What you gonna do, any one of you?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Hey little world! Back in the ocean again
Said, Hey little world! Back in the ocean again
