Lyrics Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III

The World

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
