| I can hear
|
| Your voice, your voice
|
| Calling from the window
|
| When you yelled that night
|
| I didn’t understand at all
|
| But you hurt
|
| And you cried
|
| And you’re mad
|
| And you’re angry at the world
|
| You want to tear it down
|
| You want to pull it down, down down
|
| Come on and lay down
|
| Lay down, lay down your pain
|
| Having you here, feels good
|
| Feels good inside the afternoon
|
| And no one else
|
| Could ever take away that, man
|
| You wanted love
|
| But have you fear
|
| You wanted love but it’s the fear
|
| And yet the fear it feels so real
|
| And you run, run away
|
| Running from the pain, the pain
|
| Come on and lay down
|
| Lay down, lay down your pain
|
| Don’t you see
|
| This world
|
| This world can be what you want
|
| Don’t give it up, boy
|
| Don’t you give it up, don’t give it
|
| Don’t you give it up, boy
|
| You wanted love
|
| You wanted joy
|
| You wanted simple things in life
|
| The world, the world is a better place
|
| And this world is a better place
|
| Yes, the world is a better place
|
| 1 234 567 all good girls go to heaven
|
| That’s what they say
|
| 1 234 567 all good boys go to heaven
|
| That’s what they say
|
| Cause the world is a better place
|
| Yes, the world is a better place
|
| Come on, come on and lay down
|
| Won’t you lay down this pain
|
| The world is a better place
|
| Lay down your pain |
