The world oh, oh, oh the world [x2]
|
|
I smoked pot up up again help
|
The pain to go away,
|
But it wouldn't go away,
|
Just subsided through the haze
|
|
Just drifted off into deeper thought
|
So I broke my mind and searched my heart
|
Finally whats blindin' me was just as clear as day.
|
I figured out whats stressin' me, depressin' me
|
Mummy that man was lancing me
|
No..
|
|
Was only 5 years old I couldn't seem to tell a soul
|
I didn't know how to let you and daddy know
|
And I can't go on, like this
|
That's the kinda thing that make ya slash your wrists
|
But now that I realise this
|
What happened to me I gotta fight this
|
|
[Chorus]
|
The devils are probably lyin' (runnin' round and lyin')
|
Tryin' to move out
|
Is he gonna take my crown?
|
Gotta get up, stand up, fight for hours
|
Every second of every minute of every hour
|
I see your face
|
|
Help me with what happens in the world.
|
|
Lesson number one the world ain't fair
|
It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out
|
So put your faith in it if you dare.
|
|
(The world)
|
|
The world'll put you right on top
|
Then snatch the bottom from under you
|
And just watch and laugh as you drop
|
|
Lesson number one the world ain't fair
|
It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out
|
So put your faith in it if you dare.
|
|
(The world)
|
|
Whooooah..
|
The world'll put you right on top
|
Then snatch the bottom from under you
|
And just watch and laugh as you drop
|
|
Runnin' around the school as you tried committin' suicide
|
He asked what would make a 14 year old boy wanna take his life?
|
It'd be the fact, that he got a dad, who uses him, as a punchin' bag
|
Beats him till he's blue and black and wont stop will he makes him cry.
|
|
You kept it to your self and made excuses for the bruises,
|
Took painkiller to kill the pain from a daddy who's abusive,
|
He was telling you, you were useless
|
Never heard the words "I love you"
|
Made you feel like you were worthless
|
He's tryin' to save the trouble and
|
|
He can't go on, like this
|
That's the type thing that made you slash you wrists
|
Somebody shoulda told you that you're priceless
|
Put your faith in god and we can fight this.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
The devils are probably lyin' (runnin' round and lyin')
|
Tryin' to move out
|
Is he gonna take my crown?
|
Gotta get up, stand up, fight for hours
|
Every second of every minute of every hour
|
I see your face
|
|
Help me with what happens in the world.

(The world)
|
That we livin' in (livin)
|
Where we leave our babies in the back seat of cars (cars)
|
Found my pass is blind (blind)
|
Desperate minds and emotional teenagers
|
Lookin' for love in all the wrong places
|
Well loves so right
|
You so never wanna test it
|
Who's your momma who your daddy?
|
You, can't even tell.
|
You're shinin' on chattin'
|
See news at eleven.
|
Were all walking through this place with
|
Vain visions of heaven
|
|
[Chorus]
|
The devils are probably lyin' (runnin' round and lyin')
|
Tryin' to move out
|
Is he gonna take my crown?
|
Gotta get up, stand up, fight for hours
|
Every second of every minute of every hour
|
I see your face
|
|
Help me with what happens in the world....
