World You Want
Interpretada por: Violin Road
Blinded
by his Ratso Rizzo smile
He's a carny man working the room
He holds you like a circus monkey
Broken-hearted, stole your money
Play you like his personal fool
You wanna tell him something
Don't you dear?
Give him a piece of your mind
You think he cares
Just before you go down, he'll whisper in your ear:
The world you want ain't the world you're in
It's a mean little planet, they let anybody in
Get in line with all the suckers in the world
The hero gets the bullet
The villain gets the girl
He won the office on a vote from your heart
For the people and the average guy
He sold you out so fast
Got a taste for corporation cash
Good old American pie
You wanna tell him something
Don't you dear?
Give him a piece of your mind
You think he cares
Just before you go down, he'll whisper in your ear:
The world you want ain't the world you're in
It's a mean little planet, they let anybody in
Get in line with all the suckers in the world
The hero gets the bullet
The villain gets the girl
The world is a carnival town
The midway is loaded with well-meaning rubes
Blindly believing some big smiling Jesus
Keeps track of the nice things you do
But good deeds do not go unpunished
Can't make all this safe from a man in the moon
And don't you feel guilty at home
Holding your breath for some truth of your own
O Holy Father so beloved and adored
Parish saint on his gilded throne
When they caught him in the shower
With the alter boy
Your faith went sour
Can’t trust a man in a robe
You wanna tell him something
Don't you dear?
Give him a piece of your mind
You think he cares
Just before you go down, he'll whisper in your ear:
The world you want ain't the world you're in
It's a mean little planet, they let anybody in
Get in line with all the suckers in the world
The hero gets the bullet
The villain gets the girl
The world you want ain't the world you're in (repeat till
fade)
