| Woah oh oh oh woah
|
| I tip my head back, and I’m staring at the stars
|
| Just pissing this night away
|
| I’ve been praying for something from above to come down and save me
|
| It’s been a long one working for the man all day
|
| It’s been a long one dying just to get away
|
| Well it’s a roll of the dice
|
| Your luck’s finally run
|
| You’re picking your lucky numbers 'cause you’re lucky number one
|
| Digging into your pockets scrimping scraping every hole
|
| For the things that you wanted
|
| You’re at the pump woah!
|
| You belong to them in your own mind
|
| You got to break your back to break even almost every time
|
| Work days, week days, weak plays
|
| Something’s gotta change before you go insane
|
| And you know
|
| (It's a big bad world)
|
| That it goes on and on and on and on you know
|
| (It's a big bad world)
|
| That it goes on and on, the same old song you know
|
| (It's a big bad world)
|
| That it goes on and on, and it’s the same old song
|
| There’s nothing you can do
|
| But break your back in two
|
| But you just can’t quit
|
| So you work, and you pay
|
| And you break your back for another day
|
| In this big bad world, well it’s a big bad world
|
| And you work, and you pay
|
| And you break your back for another day
|
| In this big bad world, it’s a big bad world
|
| Well it’s a toss up
|
| All around the world a suit and tie pawn shop
|
| It’s a blue collar prop placed in regular sweat shops
|
| It’s a new game they play that goes around the whole clock
|
| But what’s the difference when you’re running around and you’re trying to get
|
| ahead STOP!
|
| Twenty bucks at the pump, hey
|
| Twenty bucks more the same day
|
| Twenty bucks at the pump, hey
|
| They got you going crazy
|

|
| Check your checks and call a party at the pump war
|
| And you know
|
| (It's a big bad world)
|
| That it goes on and on and on and on you know
|
| (It's a big bad world)
|

|
