| Nowadays it’s easier to get a gun, than an education
|
| That’s why kids in trench coats shoot up their school
|
| And parents outlive their kids
|
| And sex, the thing that bring life
|
| Also take it away
|
| Wouldn’t you say this is a wonderful world?
|
| I’ve seen red for green
|
| Dead soldiers too
|
| I’ve seen men kill
|
| Coulda been me or you
|
| And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
|
| I’ve seen guys in blue
|
| Seize pounds of white
|
| The rich rule in day
|
| And the poor starve at night
|
| And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
|
| The serpent and the angel
|
| So deadly in disguise
|
| And all sorts of races
|
| Of people drop like flies
|
| I’ve seen friends snaking friends
|
| Saying 'to Hell with you!'
|
| Niggas be jealous
|
| Hating on you
|
| I’ve seen babies dying
|
| Can’t watch them grow
|
| Brothers at war
|
| In every ghetto
|
| And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
|
| Yes I think to myself
|
| What a wonderful world |
