All the Goodbyes in the World 4/9

As the story man says death
The kids act so weird
The egotistic is so afraid
There's just so much to fear

Nothing is stopping Jack the Ripper
He's got a winning streak
It's been raining since ten days ago
And no one's fixing the leaks

The keyholes always been broken
To the man with new shoes
He knows he will save us all
He's sipping a coke, reading the news

All the goodbyes in the world
Would never do you good
Especially when you sitting on top of the world
Like everyone should

Well Johnny-Boy made a sin
He made the whole world freeze
He asked for my forgiveness
Down on his hands and knees

As the socialist holy caretaker
Goes off to fight a war
Against some strange eastern countrymen
The world never saw before

It's nearing 3:00
The drunkards are on the streets
And all the loyal businessmen
Keep kissing all their feet

All the goodbyes in the world
Would never do you good
Especially when you sitting on top of the world
Like everyone should

Now a man in a limozine
Watching the national game
He sips another smoke
While giving lab rats new names

Far away in the factory
That makes everything you buy
An aristocratic family man
Falls on his head and cries

The moon is always glowing
Dear Mother gets no respect
When I heard you did this
What else would I expect?

All the goodbyes in the world
Would never do you good
Especially when you sitting on top of the world
Like everyone should

As the army is freeing a country
The vice-president has a laugh
Everyone's lining up
Georgey-boy is giving autographs

No, I could not believe it
When he spat on my face
He said love ain't love in here
You sir, are a disgrace

So I ran home, over a bridge
Asking for directions there
When a man said go strait
I said, there is nothing there

All the goodbyes in the world
Would never do you good
Especially when you sitting on top of the world
Like everyone should

Muhammad is so annoyed
He's dying to be shown
Christ won't stop complaining
He says he's too unknown

The Renaissance is down the hallway
They're all just so bright
When they came back to the future
All that was wrong was right

As the end is nearing
The blade's gentle caress
Blankets a million fools
But me, I'm cold and depressed

The words that I'm hearing
I'll hear again in 50 years
Not unless I'm watching you
That is if you're still here

All the goodbyes in the world
Would never do you good
Especially when you sitting on top of the world
Like everyone should
