| there’s a peddler a pusher standing on the corner
|
| there’s a junky on the street with some crack to warm her
|
| down and out in the city she’s working as a hooker
|
| so the system took the freedom to overlook her
|
| she don’t exist that’s made her feel the hate
|
| she’s just a victim of the world that we create
|
| she didn’t have a chance man she didn’t want to do it
|
| but she never got the choice so she just said screw it she took it to the bottom just trying it all
|
| knowing that nobody even cared at all
|
| don’t deny her needs take a look at yourself
|
| before you start talking 'bout anything else
|
| such a wonderful world such a wonderful world
|
| there’s a lower class family they’re living in a vice
|
| you know it ain’t to bad but it sure ain’t nice
|
| four kids in a flat that was built for two
|
| cockroaches on the floor so what they gonna do rats in the cellar no water in the tap
|
| the kids of today are growing up with this crap
|
| a sweet loving mother she does everything she can
|
| a father with a will he’s a fighting man
|
| he’s lost his job and all the money’s been spent
|
| so tell me anybody who’s gonna pay the rent
|
| and you’re all talking 'bout equality
|
| this whole fucking world is insanity
|
| such a wonderful world… wonderful wonderful
|
| meanwhile in a suburb some fancy boulevard
|
| there’s a couple in a house with a dog on guard
|
| 3 cars in the garage they keep everything inside
|
| afraid of the violence afraid to go outside
|
| money ain’t funny if you’re afraid to use it you grip it to hard when you’re afraid to loose it working as a lawyer in some upperclass area
|
| alone at home his wife goes into hysteria
|
| a gun under her pillow to tense to relax
|
| to rich to face reality to scared to face the facts
|
| they stick to what they got and they try to make it pretty
|
| hiding from the life that’s going on down in the city
|
| such a wonderful world… |
