This World Songtext
von Bret McKenzie

Read in the news, the future is grim
We′re all to blame for the state that we're in
A billion pieces of plastic floatin′ in the ocean

Well, look around, the planet is bleedin'
A child's cryin′, the parents are weepin′
The air is filthy, they don't recommend breathin′
They're not jokin′

How long can this go on?
Well, we all know we're doin′ it wrong

Oh, this world is broken
This world is broken
The planet ain't copin' (planet ain′t copin′)
This world is broken

Every day, run around in these cars
But babe, we're dreamin′ if we're movin′ to Mars
There ain't a planet better than ours
It′s not an option (ooh)


There are those who say it's all misconception (all misconception)
Well, look around, you'll find you′re the exception
You′re corporations are full of deception
And no emotion

How long can this go down?
Well, we all gonna turn it around

Oh, this world is broken (this world is broken)
This world is broken (this world is broken)
Nobody's copin′ (nobody's copin′)
This world is broken

It's the only one we got
Don′t act now, we're gonna lose a lot, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This world is broken
This world is broken
Nobody's copin′
This world is broken

This world is broken (this world is broken)
This world is broken (this world is broken)
Nobody is copin′ (nobody's copin′)
This world is broken, oh

La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la


La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la

Oh, la, la, la-la, la-la
La la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la

Yeah, whoo-oo (la, la, la-la, la-la)
(La, la-la-la-la, la la-la-la-la)
Yeah
