Philosophy of the World Songtext
von The Shaggs

Oh, the rich people want what the poor people′s got
And the poor people want what the rich people's got
And the skinny people want what the fat people′s got
And the fat people want what the skinny people's got

You can never please anybody in this world

The short people want what the tall people's got
And the tall people want what the short people′s got
The little kids want what the big kids got
And the big kids want what the little kids got

You can never please anybody in this world

Oh, the girls with short hair want long hair
And the girls with long hair want short hair
Oh, the boys with cars want motorcycles
And the boys with motorcycles want cars

You can never please anybody in this world


It doesn′t matter what you do
It doesn't matter what you say
There will always be
One who wants things the opposite way

It doesn′t matter where you go
It doesn't matter who you see
There will always be
Someone who disagrees

We do our best
We try to please
But we′re like the rest
Whenever at ease

Oh, the rich people want what the poor people's got
And the poor people want what the rich people′s got
And the skinny people want what the fat people's got
And the fat people want what the skinny people's got

You can never please anybody in this world
