There's a mean wind blowin' this way | |
Everyone thinks it's okay | |
The common law is lowest of all | |
So why do we laugh when we watch someone else take a fall. | |
It's the way of the world | |
Say a prayer and it all comes true | |
Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall | |
You might make it through | |
Oh lord, please let the landing gears come down | |
It's a cry in the dark | |
And you know you don't make a sound | |
It's the way of the world. | |
Like a good soldier marking my time | |
I got my reward, it was mine | |
Cut off my hair and burned down my home | |
Sold my voice to the devil | |
And all i got left was alone. | |
It's the way of the world | |
Say a prayer and it all comes true | |
Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall | |
You might make it through | |
Oh lord, please let the landing gears come down | |
It's a cry in the dark | |
And you know you don't make a sound | |
It's the way of the world | |
It's the way of the world. | |
What were you expecting | |
What were you expecting | |
What were you expecting | |
What did you have planned. | |
I know a woman, she's so very small | |
Has nothing to say so she speaks for us all | |
Looking for love and karmic relief | |
An act of contrition heals everything | |
That's her belief. | |
It's the way of the world | |
Say a prayer and it all comes true | |
Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall | |
You might make it through | |
Oh lord, please let the landing gears come down | |
It's a cry in the dark | |
And you know you don't make a sound | |
It's the way of the world | |
It's the way of the world. | |
What were you expecting | |
(it's the way of the world i'll say a prayer for you) | |
What were you expecting | |
(it's the way of the world and it'll all come true) | |
What were you expecting | |
(it's the way of the world) | |
It's not what you had planned. |
