It's The Way of The World

I’ve realized for some time now that we’re way past future shock

As a matter of fact, I had to sit down and take stock

To get ammunition at Pearl Harbor they had to bust open the locks

Much too difficult my friends to get the sheep to think out of the box,

Strolling through the demonstration the other day

And saw a poor soul who was kneeling to pray

When they got done with him looked like they used a death ray

I called for the police and this is what they had to say,

It’s the way of the world my friend it’s all destined to end

It’s the way of the world my friend it’s all destined to end,

I listen to the news and am astonished at all of their lies

They’re all paid off to deceive us and they’re not even shy

Border’s gone the economy is dead the dollar’s about to die

But no one’s paying attention I realize with a sigh,

Getting the government back on course like kicking a dead horse

Funny thing about it the bastards show no remorse

The difference in awareness has caused many a divorce

I just have to shake my head at the laws they refuse to enforce,

Seems like the world is now one big joke but it’s not funny at all

Don’t all these fools know there’s always pride before the fall?

The self-worship and the vanity you getter get on the ball

This is what the doomed pilot said when his engine stalled,

It’s the way of the world my friend it’s all destined to end

It’s the way of the world my friend it’s all destined to end,

Is it even possible anymore to see good things in store?

It’s hard to appreciate a sky of blue when looking at the floor

You better makes sure you can accept what walks through that door

I heard the Russian Premier say before he started a third world war,

It’s the way of the world my friend it’s all destined to end

It’s the way of the world my friend it’s all destined to end.
