Lyrics The World is so Sick - Malvina Reynolds

The World is so Sick

The world is so sick it can never be saved
The world is so sick it can never be saved
The world is so sick it can never be saved
It’s built a bull-dozer that’s digging its grave
The world is so sick it can never be well
The world is so sick it can never be well
The world is so sick it can never be well
It’s splitting the atom to blow it to hell
The world is so clever, so busy and wise
The world is so clever, so busy and wise
It’s twisting its words so thy all come out lies
It’s forging the iron to put out its yes
The world is so sick it can never recall
It’s weaving the noose that is hanging us all
The people, the critters, the big and the small
It’s weaving the noose that is hanging us all
So don’t blame the kids if they’re angry and wild
So don’t blame the kids if they’re angry and wild
So don’t blame the kids if they’re angry and wild
This world is no place for an innocent child
