I don’t know what’s going on Everything just keeps going wrong Lack of self dependence The suffering goes on I’m not the only victim I see it every place But I will keep on striving To argue my own case
I’m not well equipped To live in a world like this I don’t have the tools I need To make me a success And I’ll just keep on bleeding Until the powers listen in But I think I’m on my way out Notify my next of kin.
All you need to get by in this world Is greed and a pocket of charm Pretend to care for everybody And then you will come to no harm I wish that the world could be different Then my weakness could be my strength A piece of gold is not judged by feelings A piece of gold is judged by it’s length
CHORUS I wish that the tide would come in To wash away this field of sin This heaven that has turned to Hell Be taken from the Devil’s spell.
All you need to get by in this world Is a life of hatred and lies Sounds of screaming tearing at your ears Sights of evil killing your eyes I wish that the world could be different TV showing the end of the war Ask the Veterans why all their friends died And they wont remember what for
