Looking like something from out of space we came |
|
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain? |
|
He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace |
|
What we're doing to him now could put us back in space |
|
We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor |
|
Losing sight of what we've really come here for |
|
Can i be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate? |
|
Take time to look around before it gets too late |
|
It's a happy old world |
|
Give and take a bit |
|
That's what you make of it |
|
A happy old world |
|
But i'm sorry to be leaving it |
|
It's a happy old world |
|
Give and take a bit |
|
That's what you make of it |
|
A happy old world |
|
But i guess i still, i still believe in it |
|
It's a happy old world |
|
We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams |
|
And highways, they're in places where they've never been |
|
We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun |
|
Oh lord, any eye can see what harm we've done |
|
I need some help to get myself out of this maze |
|
We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways |
|
My mind's not on this song i sing, my heart's not in the lines |
|
Guess i'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds |
|
Oh a happy old world |
|
Give and take a bit |
|
That's what you make of it |
|
A happy old world |
|
But i'm sorry to be leaving it |
|
It's a happy old world |
|
Give and take a bit |
|
That's what you make of it |
|
A happy old world |
|
But i guess, guess i still believe in it |
|
It's a happy old world |
