The World Songtext
von Loudon Wainwright III

Oh the world is a terrible place
Look at the look on your face
It says it all
This world′s appalling
And we ache for outer space
'Cause the world is a terrible place

And the world is a crappy old hole
From bottom to top and pole to pole
No there′s no good news
This world's useless
I'm out of here it′s my goal
Cause the world is a crappy old hole


And the world is a sandwich of shite
Every day you take another bite
You think you′re Superman
Sure you can handle it
'Til you come across kryptonite
Chunky style
The world is a sandwich of shite alright

What a wonderful world it would be
If wishes were horses maybe
It′s just a song Louis' coming on strong again
We ache for fantasy
What a wonderful world it would be

Cause the world is a dirty old joke
And there′s no way to fix it, it's broke
It′s beyond repair and I couldn't care less
If and when it goes up in smoke
And it will
Cause the world is a dirty old crappy old shitty old terrible joke
Ooooh
