Big Bad World

I tip my head back
And Im staring at the stars
Just pissing this night away
Ive been praying for something
From above to come down and save me
Its been a long one
Working for the man all day
Its been a long one
Dying just to get away
Well its a roll of the dice
Your lucks finally run
Youre picking your lucky numbers
Cause youre lucky number one
Digging into your pockets
Scrimping, scraping every hole
With the things that you wont 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, Week days, Weak plays
Well, somethings gotta change before you go insane
But you know
(Its a big bad world)
That it goes on and on and on and on, you know
(Its a big bad world)
That it goes on and on, the same old song, you know
(Its a big bad world)
That it goes on and on, the same old song
Theres nothing you can do
Theyll break your back in two
But you just cant quit
So you work and you pay
And you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, its 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, its a big bad world
Well its a toss up
All around the world a suit and tie pawn shop
Its a blue collar prop placed in regular sweat shops
Its a new game they play that goes around the whole clock
But whats the difference when youre running around
And youre 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
(Its a big bad world)
That it goes on and on and on and on, you know
(Its a big bad world)
That it goes on and on, the same old song, you know
(Its a big bad world)
That it goes on and on and its the same old song
Theres nothing you can do
Theyll break your back in two
But you just cant quit
So you work and you pay
And you break your back for another day
In this big bad world
Well, its 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, its a big bad world

So you work and you pay
And you break your back for another day
Were in this big bad world
Well, its a big bad world
No more work, no more pay
Dont wanna break my back for another day
In this big bad world
Its a big bad world

No more WORK! no more PLAY!
Dont wanna break my back for one more day
In this big bad world
Well , its a big bad world
And we were waiting for that new day to come
