Wonderful World

There's a peddler and pusher standing on the corner There's a junkie 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 wanna 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 anybody 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 too 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, such a wonderful world Such a wonderful world, such a wonderful world Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Meanwhile in a suburb on some fancy boulevard There's a couple in a house with a dog on guard Three 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 too hard when you're afraid to lose it Working as a lawyer in some upper-class area Alone at home his wife goes into hysteria A gun under her pillow too tense to relax Too rich to face reality, too 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, such a wonderful world Such a wonderful world, such a wonderful world
