Big Bad World
I tip my head back
And I'm staring at the stars, just pissing this night away
I've been praying for something
From above to come down and save me
It's been a long one
Working for the man all day
It's been a long one
Dying just to get away
Well it's a roll of the dice
Your luck's finally run
You're picking your lucky numbers
'Cause you're lucky number one
Digging into your pockets
Scrimping, scraping every hole
With the things that you won't tear
You wrap up on the wall
You be longer than in your own ride
You got to break your back to break even most every time
Work days, weekdays, weak plays
Well, something's gotta change before you go insane
But you know
(It's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on and on and on, you know
(It's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on, the same old song, you know
(It's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on and it's the same old song
There's nothing you can do
They'll break your back in two
But you just can't quit
So you work and you pay
And you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
And you work and you pay
Well, and you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
Well, it's a toss up
All around the world the suit and tie bar
It's a blue collar, broth wasting
Regular sweat shop
It's a new game they play
That goes around the old clock
But what's the difference when you're running around
And you're trying to get ahead, stop
20 bucks at the pub, hey
20 bucks more the same day
20 bucks at the pump, hey, hey
They got you going crazy
Welcome to the party
Break your back at the front door
Check your check and wallet
Party at the pub floor
And you know
(It's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on and on and on, you know
(It's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on, the same old song, you know
(It's a big bad world)
That it goes on and on and it's the same old song
There's nothing you can do
They'll break your back in two
But you just can't quit
So you work and you pay
And you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
And you work and you pay
Well, and you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
So you work and you pay
And you break your back for another day
We're in this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
No more work, no more pay
Don't wanna break my back for another day
In this big bad world
It's a big bad world
No more work, no more pay
Don't wanna break my back for one more day
In this big bad world
Well, it's a big bad world
And we were waiting for that new day to come around
And I'm staring at the stars, just pissing this night away
I've been praying for something
From above to come down and save me
It's been a long one
Working for the man all day
It's been a long one
Dying just to get away
Well it's a roll of the dice

Well, it's a big bad world
And we were waiting for that new day to come around
